Home Front Orders Emunah to Evacuate Day Care Center in Kfar Maimon
In light of the recent situation in the Sderot area of Israel, the Home Front ordered Emunah to desist from operating the Emunah day care center in Kfar Maimon. At a meeting with the children’s parents and Emunah representatives, however, there was great opposition to this decision, and the parents asked Emunah to continue the day care center’s activities in the shelters of the local yeshivah high school. Needless to say, this will necessitate many adjustments and coordination between various authorities, as well as additional funding, but it seems that this arrangement will be the best solution for at least the next few months.
At present the social workers in the Emunah Family Counselling Center in Netivot, near Sderot, are offering professional treatment for clients from Sderot. This will continue until the new Treatment Center being refurbished and extended with the help of British Emunah will be completed.
