| Twelve jeeps driven by caring volunteer drivers took 15 children with cancer and accompanying family members on a fabulous jeeping trip to the spectacular Dishon River in scenic Northern Israel.
The children, who are forced to spend long periods of time in the hospital for cancer treatments, or at home, to prevent infection due to their compromised immune system and because they are not feeling well, were thrilled to step out into the crisp outdoors, to leave their troubles behind and forget about their illness.
The fun bumpy jeep ride took them along trails near waterfalls teeming with sparkling water, breathtaking scenery and nature.
"We will take all this back with us to our next treatment in a week", said Yossie's mother as she hugged her little boy. "This is giving us what we need to go on. Thank you so much!"
Special thanks to our supremely devoted volunteers, Itzik Golan and Yehudah Weiflich, for their initiative in coordinating this outing, which joins the long list of exciting trips they have been arranging for the past several years with Ezer Mizion, for children with cancer. |
