Help support our friends in Israel in their time of need.

Old friends and new

Hi, this is Carol from Australia. I'd like to tell you how special it is to be on the Hesed tour, and summarize our brief time so far.

It all started at Sydney International Airport. We were having a quick coffee before boarding our plane to Bangkok when a lady who was wiping tables came and asked us where we going on holidays. We told her our story of coming to Israel to do volunteer work at Kaplan Hospital. She was just amazed at that, and before we could say anything more she rushed away and returned with an armful of toys from MacDonalds. She wanted us to give them to the children in the hospital in Israel from someone who lived in Australia!

After a 30 hour trip, we were glad to finally get to our hotel in Rehovot, Israel, and sleep. When our American teammates arrived there was a great time of meeting old friends and new ones, as well.

Last night we were invited by a young Israeli couple to share their Shabbat dinner with them in their home. Their generosity and hospitality were just so special and we felt at home straightaway.

Today was spent visiting Rehovot Assembly. We shared a great time together, with lots more old friends and new ones again.

There is a great feeling among the Hesed group and I am sure there are exciting things to come. Watch this space, and may God receive all the glory.
