Purim Party for Orphans

With Purim three-day holiday beginning March 6, Israel Relief Aid is going back to the Ben Shemen Youth Village to help sponsor a Purim party to bring joy to 400 teenage placed kids/orphans. 

Why does the youth village need help for something as important as a holiday celebration? 

It turns out that while the government does cover basic needs like daily meals, such daily meals are not holiday-oriented.  So, when a holiday comes, they have no budget for that.

Israel Relief Aid is so excited to make sure these kids aren’t left out of a holiday that the whole country will celebrate.  With your help, there will be a celebration.  Help us spread the joy to these young people that they are cared about and loved.  DONATE TODAY...
