On Sunday morning, we drove from the Bedouin Camp in the southern part of Israel to the Coastline city of Netanya. We arrived at the Hadassah Neurim Youth Village [originated as a center for the children orphaned by the Holocaust, for new immigrants, and for the poor of Israel].

Israel's population consists of 7 million, 2.5 million are under the age of 18. The challenge at the center is to offer opportunity for change. Some of the best athletes in Israel come from this Center.

We cleaned the streets, the gardens, and washed the windows in the dinning hall.We had dinner with the students and swam in their pool. In the evening, we gathered for prayer and sharing.

On Monday morning, we had breakfast and some time to spend at the beach in Netanya. We have since arrived in Jerusalem where we had lunch in the Old City. Thank you for your prayers for our effectiveness. We are enjoying good health and trying to learn as we move forward.
