Learning about the Baltimore-Ashkelon Partnership!

Shalom!
Lizzie here ready to tell you about the amazing day the partnership committee planned (if I do say so myself). We got to Sivan's school, Ort Afridar bright and early to write cards for kids in the hospital in Ashkelon and to repaint and decorate the partnership mural. Though some of us ended up covered in paint, it was a morning well spent. Next, we had an activity called acrobalance, which combines yoga and gymnastics to create some amazing poses. After acrobalance, we all went off to different places for lunch and met back up to talk to the director of the partnership, Sigal Ariely at the volunteer center. For our final program of the day, we went to the Park Baltimore which many of you may have been to or even help create in honor of Lyn Getz to help us recognize our program's unique partnership. We created a web of yarn by tossing it around to our new friends from the partnership and the cutting it to make bracelets. Then we all split up for dinner and other fun activities. (Shaked and I met up with Emily and Aviv, Jennie and Dorin, Laura and Amit, and Molly and Noam at an amazing shopping center and then went to a bonfire on the beach with almost the whole group.) All in all, it was a crazy and interesting day that truly helped show what Diller and the partnership is all about.
Hope you are all having great summers, I know we are.
Lizzie
