The occupational training center Shiluvim held its closing event for the program “See Me!” designed to increase awareness about dressing, grooming and hygiene
In Shiran Yisrael’s thank-you letter to the Shalem Foundation, the workshop director wrote
"Upon completion of the moving, crowning event of the program "See Me!," I would like to thank all of those who partnered to make this wonderful and significant venture a reality, bringing the program to staff members of the Art Center in Kfar HaMaccabi. The course took place under the auspices of the Shalem Foundation, in cooperation with the Disabilities Administration in the Ministry of Social Affairs and Social Services
The course’s goal was to raise awareness and spearhead change among occupational training workers in the realm of outward appearance. And this indeed happened
From the very beginning and throughout the entire program, we were accompanied and advised by Ruty Traves, who professionally and successfully led and guided the program among staff counselors and occupational training workers with the utmost patience and dedication. We cannot stop sharing and boasting about the events that took place here at the Center since the program’s inception, all of which bring happiness and joy and emphasize the capabilities inherent in choice
Thank you, Ruty, for sharing, and for the desire to generate change. Thank you for the tolerance and patience and for spreading the light in our center
The main event included a happening, sporting booths for clothing, fashion accessories, hair styling and make-up. Numerous volunteers came to share in the event and celebrate this very festive and admirable occasion
Parents, Mrs. Jackie Sorek, director of the Zevulun Regional Council Social Affairs Department, and Mrs. Tsofit Zeiger, director of the Shiluvim division, representatives of A.D.N.M. residences, and directors of various other services honored us with their presence
Thank you to the Shalem Foundation for the opportunity, and for introducing the program to occupational training centers throughout the country
I am certain and I believe that this subject will take root in our center, among staff and among occupational training participants, and that we will see the results of the program for a long time to come
We grew and we enjoyed; the experience is ongoing
Thank you."
The Shalem Foundation was partner to the initiative and the program’s development and was among the program’s funders
