Eszter painting faces at the Purim Fair!
One of the key aims of the WUJS program is to create a strong connection between participants and the local Israeli community in which they are living. One of the ways to achieve this connection is through volunteering. Prior to the holiday of Purim a group of 20 WUJS participants in Jerusalem set up a Purim Shuk (Games Fair) in the local Katamonim community center. More than 50 children came to the event which, according the center Director "would not have happened if it wasn't for the WUJS group".
