Voluntary Work
Pre-Military volunteer Shnat Sheirut program, Dor Shalom movement. • Postponed my military service in a year to take part in a volunteer program
in which I lived in an autonomous commune with 5 other volunteers and
took part in several volunteer projects simultaneously:
o In House photographer at the Shabtay Levi orphanage of
children from 0 to five years old – As these kids grow in an
institute, there is no one there to take pictures of them as
they grow up. As a result of that, those orphans have no
photos or albums from their childhood. My job as the in
house photographer was to spend several hours a week with
these kids and take their pictures while they stay in the
institute or when they go for trips or outside activities. Later I
would catalog the negatives and photos and arrange
personal albums for each child. It was one of the most
rewarding experiences of my life.
o Youth guide and tutor – our commune was set in a rough
neighborhood with no youth movements or afterschool
activities. Our commune of 6, with the help of several
students from Haifa University, started a 'learning center' at
the local primary school; It was a place that the local children
could come to and get free assistance with their homework,
and at the same time doubled as a youth movement, as
activities, group sessions and lessons were arranged.
o Computer Teacher for elderly people – I taught basic
computer skills to groups of elderly people (55+). They
started with basic computer operation and finished at
browsing the internet, using MS word and chatting.
