big Brother
“Big brother” non-profit organisation is a social initiative of hundreds of student volunteers and released lone soldiers, which operates on the basis of Zionism and Israeli values. The organisation and its volunteers believe in their ability to provide lone soldiers the help and care they need, based on their own personal experience.
Volunteers contact the olim (immigrants), help them relieve loneliness, and try to become a person they can reach in time of need. In addition, they work to mediate communication between the lone soldier and the military system, as well as the bureaucratic systems, and vice versa.
