| After a string of rainy days that filled Israel's northern rivers with an abundance of badly needed water, Ezer Mizion took advantage of a break in the downpours to take children with cancer out for a spectacular "nature day" that included a refreshing and exhilarating jeeping trip.
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, were thrilled to step into flowering nature and the blooming outdoors, to leave their troubles behind and forget about their illness.
After a fun bumpy jeep trail alongside the Dishon River among waterfalls teeming with sparkling water, the children and their escorts proceeded to Tiberias, where they were treated to an elaborate meal. Special thanks are due 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. |
