"Olim Be'Ivrit"

Helping  schoolchildren from Russia and Ukraine improve their Hebrew and strengthen their social skills in Akko  

Rationale

Many Russian or Ukrainian Olim children struggle with Hebrew, even after two years. This holds them back both socially and academically. ESRA scholarship students help these schoolchildren during school hours, accelerating their learning of Hebrew and enabling them to integrate socially.


Objectives

Helping improve Hebrew skills
Developing literacy and intellectual curiosity
