Wish We Were There

Before all of the Pesach craziness began about ten days ago, The Good People Fund was excited to support Shutaf Overnight Camp 2018. This annual trip which coincides with the beginning of Israel’s 2+ week school vacation brings teens and young adults with special needs together for a few days of fun (what’s not to like about hikes and farming activities, science, carpentry, art, tai chi and so much more?) before the holiday begins.

Miriam Avraham and Beth Steinberg, Camp Shutaf’s dedicated founders reported back after their visit to camp, “So wonderful to see these fabulous kids having fun, doing fun activities with amazing counselors full of energy. It was truly a delight. And the teens were having the time of their lives in this gorgeous setting – an organic farm – at a time of year when everything is green and flowering. We had to tear ourselves away and go back to our computers. Thank you for making this possible!”

How could we not?
