But with the current pandemic crisis, it is still not clear whether the summer camps will go forward. What is clear, though is that these children need more help today than ever before. If the camps take place, there will be corona-based restrictions and additional staffing needs as a result. I am so happy I was able to give you a peek at Ofra, one of my favorite communities in all of Samaria! Ofra is home to a very special program called Heart of Benjamin, which provides valuable activities and sheltered employment for children and young adults with special needs. At this time of year, they usually provide summer camps to assist families during the school holiday.
If camp is cancelled, the families will need individual assistance to help them cope with seriously handicapped children, at home, while they are trying to work or take care of their other children. And all this comes at a time when many have lost their jobs. Your gift will provide the additional staff necessary to help special needs children and their families during this unprecedented summer. I am asking you to stand with a beautiful child in Ofra at Heart of Benjamin by giving a gift today!
May God bless you richly!
