One night last week our Nir Am center opened up to the families of the teens who regularly attend. There, we showed them a special place and also give them an opportunity to enjoy the facility and have fun together.
Yarden, our program director shares that these family nights give the participants a chance to take on leadership roles, helping to run activities and host the visitors. He also shared that these activities are particularly meaningful as the tone of the community is under such chaotic changes due to the security situation, that our work is all the more important and he feels that what we do is so relevant to helping the teens and family overcome the trauma of their everyday life in Sderot.
