Keeping CHW Netanya Technological High School Students Warm

Posted on January 15, 2019 by Jennifer

The children who attend CHW Netanya Technological High School come from very low socio-economic backgrounds. Many of these children work additional jobs to help support their families; whether to pay the rent and bills, or buy groceries.

Now that winter has arrived, and this has been a very cold and rainy season, many of the children were coming to school complaining that they were cold at night. Many children shared that they were unable to sleep due to lack of heating and warmth in their homes.

When the faculty learnt about this, they sprang into action. They turned to a local store* in Netanya who generously donated over 30 blankets to the children and their families.  

The parents and children were so touched and honoured by this generous donation and the dedicated team at CHW Netanya, sharing that it has already positively impacted their lives!

*The donor would like to remain anonymous

CHW is feeling the pride as Sarah*, a recent graduate from CHW Nahalal Youth Village has successfully completed the Cyber Shield Course with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

The IDF’s Cyber Shield Course, taught through the school of Computer Studies and Cyber Defense, is one of the most prestigious and highly recognized courses in the country as it enables these graduates to protect Israel against cyber-attacks.

Eighteen-year-old Sarah is now equipped to protect Israel and help defend her country.

Sarah shared, “In high school at [CHW] Nahalal I majored in physics and chemistry. Before this course, I took part in a program of excellence for studies in computers and cyber in the periphery. I received lots of valuable tools there and I was exposed to some of the content I learned in the IDF’s cyber course. Through my studies I discovered that cyber defense is a very interesting field.”

Sarah is an excellent example of how CHW’s youth villages put young adults on the right path to success, empowering young women and instilling within them with the tools to succeed!

Hadassah Specialist Removes Pacifier Lodged in Baby’s Throat

Posted on January 3, 2019 by Jennifer

This life-saving story will give you chills. While babysitting baby Hillel, the caregiver suddenly noticed that his pacifier was missing. Eighteen month old Hillel was not breathing properly and to the caregiver’s shock, she discovered that he has swallowed the pacifier and it was lodged deep in his throat!

Dr. Itai Gross, a Pediatrician at Hadassah Hospital, was unable to dislodge the pacifier and needed to put Hillel on a ventilator to help him breath. Hillel was anesthetized and taken straight into surgery. A team of specialists, including, Dr. Menachem Gross, Director of the Pediatric Ear, Nose, and Throat Department together with Dr. Nir Hirshoren, Head and Neck Surgery Specialist worked carefully as they carried out this difficult operation.

The medical team saved baby Hillel’s life! Click here to read the full story.
