Equipment for Students and Teachers of Nofey Habsor High School in Eilat

Immediately after the October 7th attack, 60,000 of the evacuated families arrived in Eilat, of which 14,000 are school students. They were accommodated temporarily in the city’s hotels, receiving emergency support and provisional educational services. Five new high schools were opened, for the communities of the Kibutzim, Sderot and Kiryat Shmonah. The teaching is conducted online and in schools, in rented spaces and second shifts. The participation is incomplete (between 30% and 80%) and the school day is partial, combining actual learning with informal enrichment activities.

Due to the very difficult emotional condition of the students of the Nofey Habsor school, their principal seeks funding to create a relief room for them. The room will be used by students during learning hours, when they need a few minutes of rest and refocusing. In addition, she wishes to equip the teachers with tablet handheld devices. The Eilat foundation approached us to assist in preparing the room with computers, furniture, games and to purchase the tablets.
