The participants and tutors in Kfar Saba's "Students Build a Neighborhood" project recently celebrated the end of this year's program with an exciting outing to Kibbutz Gan Shmuel.  Omri, who leads the project's "Outward Bound" group, is a member of the kibbutz and arranged a day out in the country for these city children.


After a delicious picnic on the lawn each participant was given a T-shirt bearing the ESRA logo.  They all piled onto tractors for a tour of the kibbutz with explanations at each site – the cowsheds, fish ponds, etc.  

The best treat of theday was a seminar on juggling given by three young kibbutzniks.  Each child was taught how to juggle - balls, plates, diabolo spools -  they loved it and didn't want to stop!  But the afternoon was ending and there was yet another treat awaiting them back in Kfar Saba.  The parents had arranged a surprise party at the Ethiopean Community Center for the tired but happy youngsters and their Beit Berl College tutors.

A great way to end the day and the year!
