«Hesed on wheels» helps Jewish community from Almaty area.

The Hesed employee Marina Iorish visited more than fifteen settlements, towns and auls of Almaty area. More than forty Jewish families living in Almaty area, thanks to work of Hesed received the winter help, grocery parcels and the Davar newspaper issued by Association of the Jewish organizations "Mitsva". Adults and children, large families and lonely elderly people became recipients of parcels. Distances are not a hindrance to the Jewish community to be a whole. It should be noted that similar trips are carried out regularly, at least, once in three months. Marina Iorish notes that there’s a constant search for the new clients. Within the program «Children's initiative» more than twenty children were interrogated, and according to their requirements will be assisted further.

The central place in spring parcels, undoubtedly, is matza for Pesach. This matza received by Hesed from Jewish Euro-Asian Congress will be on tables of Jews of all Kazakhstan.

Thanks to the active involvement of EAJC, JDC and Heseds the main precept of the Torah is put into practice in the form of the help to people.
