PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
ORT is unique. There is
no other organization meet-
ing the educational and
vocational needs of Jews
world wide. In the ghetto of
Rome, in the filth of North
Africa, in the forgotten
communities of India, in the
anti-Semitic atmosphere of
Latin America, in the big
cities of France, in Israel,
and even in our own coun-
try, the ORT presence is
felt.
As members of Women's
American ORT, we share a
common purpose, dedica-
tion and commitment to the
future of our magnificent
ORT program; we stand de-
termined to counter crucial
challenges that we may face
Senegal to Peru, from Togo
to Tanzania, ORT personnel
assist in agricultural, train-
ing, health services, road
building and child care.
Special attention is given to
local personnel so they can
replace ORT specialists.
... about the plans to open
a school in Los Angeles in
1986? The School will offer
training and retraining
programs in marketable
technological skills so
necessary in the computer
age of the future.
. . . about the plans to es-
tablish a resource center in
London to be funded outside
the ORT program? The cen-
ter will house ORT's opera-
tion in London and become a
center for developing didac-
tic materials of benefit to
the ORT program.
MUCH depends on us;
MANY depend on us, the
Women of ORT. You ask
how will we do it all? We
will do it because we care.
We will do it because we
know that what we do does
make a difference. We will
do it because we know that
the ORT students are count-
ing on us.
Did you ever say,
"Why doesn't someone do something
