Gamla

“Gamla” is a national program, in which volunteers mentor children and teens in different risk factors. The volunteers aspire to be a “bright light” in the children’s complex reality, by being a personal mentor. The goal of the program is to supply academic, emotional and social help for the children and teens, who’s family members have a hard time giving them the needed aspects of their success in academic matters, as well as social. The program also aspires to implement the values of volunteering and mutual aid in the community.
