Charity Bazaar

On behalf of the Diplomatic Spouses' Club in Israel, DATA has the pleasure to convey an invitation for participation in the club's Annual Charity Bazaar.

Diplomatic Spouses' Club Charity Bazaar

Saturday 24 April 2010

12:00 - 17:00

at the American International School*

*65, Hashomron Street, Even Yehuda

(Corner Rabin Drive, off the Netanya South/Poleg/Ikea interchange).

Entrance fee: Adults 10NIS - School age Children 5NIS.

As in previous years, DSC has chosen to assist a non-profit organization in Israel that works with the needy, regardless of their ethnic, religious or social background.

The 2010 Charity Bazaar is in support of DROR Association, a non-profit organization, established in 1981, to assist young people, who have been discharged after hospitalization for psychiatric illness, re-enter the community and become productive and self sufficient. They do this by establishing Group Homes and providing them with guidance towards independence. The residents receive consultation and guidance from a team of skilled, professional social workers. They also provide a Social Club where the rehabilitants are engaged in various social and cultural activities. All the rehabilitation programs are under the supervision of the Ministry of Health.

DSC kindly requests donations (such as free plane tickets, restaurant certificates, gift baskets with products from the home country, food stands and other items). The bazaar will also provide you with the opportunity to donate your "white elephants" - new things that you don't use anymore but you find in your home during your spring cleaning.

The resourceful ideas and the help of Embassies and diplomats are greatly encouraged and will be very much appreciated.
