Update on Givat Gonen Project

Marilyn has spoken recently with the principal and counsellor at Givat Gonen Forest school in Jerusalem, where we support a Talia Trust project.

Over several years the school has expanded and strengthened its intake. About 30% remain in a low economic status. Many of these children have multiple issues which affect their learning. This includes specific learning difficulties, so the children greatly benefit from the strategies they acquire in the remedial small groups which we provide.

Currently in these sessions children are learning English which the staff believe is very important as a bridge for success. The skills they learn are also transferable to other learning situations.

In addition to funding this project we are seeking a volunteer with appropriate education/social work experience who would be interested in visiting the school several times a year. Click here further details.

Here you can see again some of the children's activities.
