Gush Etzion Foundation

Project: A multi-purpose community center
An existing community structure, consisting of three interconnected mobile units in dilapidated condition, is currently being used for meetings and communal events, as a play area for toddlers and as the Bnei Akiva youth club. The children and youth spend a significant portion of their time here, playing, reading, and enjoying each other’s company. The structure is “renovated” each year by the residents and the youth, until weather conditions and wear-and-tear take their toll and it starts to fall apart again. Thorough and long lasting renovations that will make the structure a more pleasant and comfortable leisure and activities center for the community’s younger generation will require funding beyond the residents’ ability.
