"Etgar" children's program began in the Hesed "Natan" in January 2004. Its main aim is to help the children at risk.

   The action - Share the Clothes and Footwear Your Children Outgrew - has started to support the new program. All employees and volunteers of the Hesed "Natan" and JCC took part in it.

   One of the first to respond the call were members of women's and family clubs. The clothing, footwear, and toys they had gathered were given to four-year-old Alina (an orphan who lives with her grandmother) and to the children from a poor family Maxim (13), Igor (15), and Vika (8).

   The action will last till the end of the year.
