Re: Gil Am Home and Hostel – Interim Report to Action Fund

 

Dear Roswitha,

 

We are sending you this interim report as required for the grant we received for this project.  The total  grant for the year 2002 was SF 5000.-,  the equivalent of  14,800 Israeli Shekel (IS)

 

We received this sum in September 2002 and we shall be using it for  approximately 12 months,  i.e. until September 2003.  We have used the monies for 3 purposes which we had described in our application.

 

1. Canteen Expenses: 

 

We used 5000. IS :  The canteen is open every 2 weeks. Two members of our Clubs participate each time.                                                                                                          
During the period Sept. 2002 and February 2003, eleven Canteen Days took place.                                                                                                            

 

We have introduced some changes in the way the canteen is now organized. Our volunteers are now more involved with the GIL AM youngsters in small groups and have more personal contacts with them. We found out that the youngsters enjoy these meetings. 

 

2. Birthday Parties:

 

They take place four time a year.  The cost for this period is 2000. IS

During this period we had two birthday parties.

 

The next collective birthday party will take place next week when our volunteer representatives will offer birthday presents to the youngsters who have prepared an “artistic program” for the occasion.     

3. Special Events Expenses:

 

We contributed  an amount of  500.IS – to make it possible for a significant meeting between parents, the young delinquents and our volunteers to take place.

 

The total monies used up until now from the Action fund is therefore: 7,500 IS

 

Please note that three of our SOROP volunteers are also members of the GIL AM Association Board of Directors and have a significant influence on the current programs of the Association.

 

Concerning the future, we intend to continue our activities for another 6 -7 months in the same manner, with the same kind of activities and with expenses more or less the same as for the first period.

 

As you can see from our report, the grant we received from the Action Fund is being used for important goals, to the benefit of GIL AM young delinquents. In helping to realize these programs we do hope to have a positive influence on these youngsters and we hope that you will continue to be our partners in this socio-educational project of our  three Haifa Clubs – Haifa, Haifa-Carmel and Haifa – Neve Shaanan.

                                      

 

Sincerely,

 

Hava Inbar

Israeli Union President
