Annual Readathon
This year we reached approximately 200 kids, with close to 2000 books read.
The Ma'aleh Adumim municipality supported us even more this year, and
intends on continuing next year! Don't forget that every bit of sponsorship
money helps us put more books on the shelves and into your children's hands. |

'Native
English Speakers'
Program
This year we had a huge increase in enrollment due to the fact
that A.H.A.V.A. was asked to
create and run a viable program for the English Speakers of the Kfar Adumim
School. It has been very
successful, and we will be continuing next year. We serve over 100 children in the five
communities of Ma'aleh Adumim, Mitzpe Yerihco, Alon, Kfar Adumim and Nofei
Prat. . If you know of new people moving
into a community in this area, even with only one English speaking parent, let
them know about our programming.

Memorial Library
We will be opening a large second branch in Kfar Adumim
School, for the benefit
of A.H.A.V.A. students and the general population of the school as well. We are
very excited about the prospect and will spend a lot of time investing in this
project over the summer.

"Breaking Through" Reading Tutorial Program
With our second grant for this
program, this time from the East Bay Jewish Community Teen Foundation, we
continued this successful reading fluency program both in the Mitzpe Yericho school and in the Kfar
Adumim School.
We would very much like to continue with this program. In order to do so we need volunteers in these areas.
If you would like to make a difference in a child's life, with as little as one hour a week, contact Gaila.

Writing Contest
Writing
on four different topic over five weeks, our A.H.A.V.A.
English school students participated by writing creative essays and
poetry. We were delighted with all of
the entries and are happy to see this program flourish. Over 30 students
participated from grades 3 - 8. Remember that sponsorship of this event can be
made in the name or memory of a loved one, a special occasion, or a Chessed Project.

Now more than ever we need your help. Any donation, no matter how small can
help us. We have many opportunities to memorialize or honor someone. And our
receipts can earn you money back from the tax man! Ask me if you do not know
how to do this. We also can send tax deductible receipts in the US and Canada. Please be in touch with me
for details.
Sincerely,
Gaila Cohen Morrison
A.H.A.V.A.
