Welcome
to our esra website!
I
know that after browsing through the site, you will feel - as I
do - that we have something in esra for YOU!
You
will discover that
esra
is a dynamic, pluralistic, multi-faceted organisation -
and it is run by
English-speaking volunteers. Its flexibility and innovativeness
allow it to pinpoint and respond quickly to the current needs of
the people that esra
serves.
Participation
in esra's activities
enhances
the integration of English speakers into the Israeli community,
and gives them an opportunity to express
their own unique abilities and interests. Thus,
the talents and culture that they bring with them from their native
countries find fertile ground in Israel, and result in esra's
cultural, social, educational, and support programs in English,
which the volunteers both create and enjoy.
Furthermore,
esra's
caring and humanistic philosophy
translates into the belief that helping others is meaningful for
all involved - those doing the helping,
as well as those being helped. This philosophy is implemented by
reaching out to immigrants from distressed countries, and others
in disadvantaged sectors of the Israeli society.The principle that
volunteers are capable of creating and carrying out projects in
a professional manner offers encouragement
and empowerment to the 900 versatile
and talented people who accept the
challenge eagerly.Come
join us in this exciting and fulfilling
enterprise! Together,
we can help ourselves and others - and enjoy and grow in the process.
