Israeli Experts
With A Mission

,

855-6220

hy, one might ask,
would a 27-year-old Is-
raeli high-fashion de-
signer want to spend a
month working in El Salvador
without pay? The answer: to
spread good will through Israel's
new "Matat" (gift) volunteer
agency.
Established in 1994, the Matat
offers developing countries the
technical assistance of profes-
sionals in various fields through
the many doors opened to Israel
in this era of peace.
Established by Yossi Marek, a
Tunisian-born Jew who carne to
Israel from France after the Six-
Day War, and who is now Matat's
director general, it receives fi-
nancial and logistical support
from Israel's Foreign Ministry,
where it is housed.
"We are very fortunate here is
Israel in having an immense
reservoir of experts in many fields
who are willing to contribute
their time and expertise to help
others," says Mr. Marek. This
reservoir includes experts in ed-
ucation, management, agricul-
ture, banking, security, medicine
and high-tech industries and
even has musicians from the for-
mer Soviet Union ready to help
developing countries establish
community orchestras.
Matat, like the world
renowned Senior Experts Ser-
vices which it emulates, offers re-
tired senior citizens the
opportunity to continue to apply
their expertise. Unlike SES, how-
ever, which has 20 branches
throughout the Western world,
42 percent of the 500 applicants
responding to Matat's initial call
for volunteers were between the
ages of 25 and 50.
The cost of the missions them-
selves (which average about
$10,000 each) are shared between
Matat and the host country.
Length of missions are between
two weeks and one month and fo-
cus on providing practical solu-
tions to specific problems. Har-El
Waldman, an Israeli high-fash-
ion designer, recently returned
from two weeks in El Salvador at
the invitation of a women's orga-
nization which operates
NAHUIT, a network of cottage
factories. His mission: to help cre-
ate marketable and affordable
folkloric fashion designs for local
consumers.
"This is a good time in my life
to travel to new places with a new
atmosphere," he said. "It was a
wonderful feeling to volunteer
and help raise the standard of the
region's folklore designs."
Countries and projects are cho-
sen in consultation with the For-
eign Ministry andMatnt_wannt /
