150 youth leaders from South America, in Israel on a year-long Jewish Agency hachsharah program, are volunteering at summer camps for Ethiopian youngsters. The camps are held at Jewish Agency absorption centers all over the country.
According to a publication of the Jewish Agency, ?during their stay in Israel, the leaders improve their Hebrew, take courses at the youth leadership training seminar and participate in voluntary activity on kibbutzim and moshavim around the country, according to the ideology of the different youth movements. When their year ends, the leaders return to their countries of origin where they coordinate activity in their youth movements.?
A director of the program, Jaimie Fox-Bar, observed that the South American youths ??were not put off by the situation and came to realize their desire to strengthen Jewish education worldwide and in Israel.?
