More than 40 members of "Volunteers For Israel" will arrive in Israel from all over the U.S. tomorrow to begin their annual 3-week stint on an army base. They will live and work with Israelis, performing non-combat, civilian duties such as repairing and maintaining equipment, kitchen duties, and packaging military and medical supplies. Their hands-on work relieves reservists and saves Israel millions of shekels each year in work hours and salaries.
The trip will be a reunion for most of the volunteers, who have served together annually for many years. Since January, more than 180 American volunteers have served on VFI programs, and another 100, so far, have applied. Two-week and one-week programs are also available. All programs are administered in Israel by Sar-El. Click here for more information.
