First Pilot of Heznek 800 Launched

We are pleased to announce the launch of our first pilot program at the Rosh HaAyin afterschool. The pilot includes 10 kindergarten classes, comprising two religious kindergartens and eight secular kindergartens. A total of 26 childcare staff members have started evening training sessions to learn about a program developed by the Games for the Future Association from the Accord Center. The program, tailored for afterschool, offers a wide range of activities for children during these hours. Through this program, children learn about the diversity of Israeli society and the cultural richness of the community we live in. They are taught to respect others and enjoy a multicultural society.

The teams have gradually begun to implement the program in the afterschool, and it has been received enthusiastically by the children. The pilot was made possible due to a fruitful collaboration with "HaOmetz Lihiyot", which operates the afterschool centers in Rosh HaAyin, thanks to "Games for the Future" and the Accord Center that developed and adapted the program for these centers, and due to the generous donation from the NextGen Philanthropic Partnerships Fund and the Diane & Guilford Glazer Foundation.
