said at the village. “Israel continues
leading the world in technology,
education and thinking; ORT plays a
strong role in that advancement, and
seeing it solidified my perspective.”
Another stop was at the
YOUniversity Center of Excellence in
Nahariya. This after-school enrich-
ment program, intended to supple-
ment the regular school curriculum,
offers disadvantaged youth a wide
variety of science and technology
courses in a fun environment with
hands-on instruction by industry
experts. Introducing children to
subjects they would not normally be
exposed to paves the way for them to
excel and consider eventual careers in
these professions.
“My eyes were opened to the direct
impact our donations contribute to,”
Andrew said. “They understand each
child has different needs, what has
to be accomplished and the realistic
path.”
The mission also provided dia-
logues with students, teachers, staff
and experts, who provided context for
the programs.
“Some students would not be learn-
ing skills to enter the workforce were
it not for ORT schools,” Dana said.
“The ORT students appreciate the
opportunity they’re given and want
to learn as much as they can in ORT
schools.”
Before the mission, the local partici-
pants were guided by a strong desire
to help further ORT’s educational pro-
grams. After the mission, the group is
more determined to make a difference
for ORT America, the lead fundrais-
ing agency for World ORT, whose
worldwide schools, colleges and inter-
national programs prepare more than
300,000 students for bright outcomes.
“A donation to ORT is an invest-
ment in the future of Israel, in the
world economy and in the greater
human good,” Andrew said. •
