Day Two

Wow, today was truly amazing!

We all got up, davened and ate breakfast by 8am, met Keren and got on the coach.
After a quick tour of the school we met the Israeli Girls!!!!
We met: Lihi, Linor, Dana, Avital, Koral, Emanu, Tali, Meri, Noa, and Sapir.
And please check out the pictures for more info!

We had a bonding session but we didnt really connect properly until we got a chance to just chat. Everyone got on so well, it was amazing! The language was not a barrier, we all just broke our teeth and by now we all speak a lot more hebrew!

We went for a tour of Givat Olga and visited two Youth Club Houses and spoke to the people who head them. They told us about how the reason that there used to be violence was because the teens were bored. This sparked off a massive discussion between everyone, english and hebrew, about why there is violence in Givat Olga and in London. It was fascinating!

We arrived at the most beautiful beach ive ever seen. Check out the pictures! We had a delicious lunch and saw the first ever house built in Givat Olga. After a long walk down the beach we arrived back at the school and had a half hour break.

Then we had the coolest activity EVER!!! This group of people have begun a project where they collect old clothes and scraps of clothes and recreate them for people to wear - recylcing clothing. We were each asked to describe ourselves in one word and then split into groups. We were told that we each had to take one full piece of clothing and then pick scraps and buttons and zips that we wanted and create our own piece of clothing.

In short, check out the pictures...it was fantastic!

Looking great, girls! Keep it up! The Givat Olga girls look fab. Get some pics of them, too. Tell us who they are and something about their personal stories. That is what will make this blog more interesting as well as all the fun you are having. Let each one of your girls tell us about what they have seen in their own words. Looking forward to your next update. M.O.A.M. xx
