Negeti Gabau

 

When Negeti Gabau, 25, was a little boy in Ethiopia, the thought of growing up to become an engineer and an officer in the Israel Defense Forces seemed like the impossible dream. Yet, 11 years ago, Negeti arrived in Israel with his mother, his brother and not much else, proving that nothing is impossible.

The Village Way at ORT Technology Acco

A communal meal is served
at ORT Technology Acco.
This year at ORT Technology Acco, just before the Passover holiday, the community chose to do something alittle different - Village Way style. In a break from routine in the dining room, a communal feast was prepared. But why? Asking questions, departures from routine and understanding why we make changes are all relevant preludes to celebrating Passover. ORT Technology Acco is a partner educational community of Yemin Orde Educational Initiatives.
