ESRA's newly redesigned computer centre in Netanya was officially opened in a heartwarming and emotional ceremony donated in loving memory of Edward and Rosemary Isaacs by their two daughters, Jill Shaw (London) and Liz Morris (Raanana). As soon as the ribbon had been cut and the plaque unveiled, the first group of teenagers raced in and dived straight onto Facebook before their lesson began!

The centre's 12 new computers will serve 40-50 immigrant youth and adults from the disadvantaged area of Neot Shaked in South Netanya.
Jill Shaw & Liz Morris, daughters of Edward and Rosemary Isaacs, cut the ribbon
