אביב תל W hy go to Tel-A viv w hen Jerusalem is so obviously the superior city? I asked m yself the same thing rytim e I got on the bus to get there. I discovered there are a fe w good reasons to visit, despite the ussle and bustle of the crowded w esternised city. First, the beach, a w onderful excuse to skip school, r all, Jerusalem doesn't quite have a beach and a definite effort m ust be made to m aintain that ual tan. A n o th e r good reason is to v is it friends at Tel-A viv U. But let's be honest. W hat is the real w e all found ourselves in line at the far end of the Tachanah Mercazit? So th a t w e could get a taste of A m erican food. The openings of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream, and of W endy's w ere tru ly G- -sends. No m atter th a t it's about a 20 m inute w alk between the tw o, w e have all managed to h it both n if w e're ju s t in for th e day. The w alk to Ben and Je rry's prior to eating W endy's ham burgers (still eeping kosher — even in Tel-Aviv) is ju s t long enough to earn us a large order of fries (as a side order) Bete Avon!
VOLUNTEERING Being in Israel th is year w as a w onderful experience and part of this experience w as intensified by the tim e I spent outside of my studies. One of the most im portant aspects of my life this year w as being involved in an Israeli child's life. This past year I volunteered at M avaseret Zion, a suburban area 10 m inutes outside Jerusalem , on the Jerusalem -Tel Aviv highw ay. These children needed help w ith th e ir English hom ework, but they especially needed to be w ith new people. A t the same tim e th a t I was helping a child w ith his English, he w as helping me w ith my Hebrew. Since the children there needed a teacher or a big brother, it gave me an opportunity to see how Israeli children live th e ir lives and how they feel about everything th a t is going on around them . Giving my tim e w as occasionally d ifficult, but the end result w as so rew arding th a t it w as w orth it. To spend tim e and offer my help to these children gave me the feeling that no m atter w h a t the circum stances I could help a child feel good. In turn, I w as made to feel that my volunteer w ork w as an im portant and w o rth w h ile experience. Stanley M orais 54 Elwyn (form erly Sw edish village) is home to approxim ately 275 children, young adults and seniors, situated in Kiryat M enachem , a suburb of Jerusalem . The Swedish Village w as named in recognition of the g ift from the Swedish governm ent of several cottages and trees planted in m em ory of 99 Jew ish children shot dow n over Sweden during W orld W ar II. A t th a t tim e the fa cility w as a convalescent home. In 1958 it became a residence fo r the retarded, w h ich grew from 10 residents to its present num ber, under th e auspices of the Israeli governm ent. In Septem ber <strong>1988</strong>, Jerusalem Elwyn assum ed m anagem ent of the Village, a tth e invitation of the G overnm ent. In planning for the fu tu re , w e expect to im prove the physical plant and to enhance the q u a lity of life for the residents. Because our philosophy is client-centred, we have introduced th e case m anagem ent system as the basis fo r clie n t care. Every resident has a case manager, trained in special education, social w ork, or psychology, w hose prim e responsibility is to evaluate client strengths and needs and to form ulate an Individual W ritten Program Plan, w ith w hich to begin w ork w ith the client. We have added ancillary professional staff in. areas of speech, occupational, m ovem ent and recreation therapy, special education and psychology, to fa cilita te the im plem entation of individual programs. Today, 7 0 ,children are transported daily to neighbouring schools. The residents w h o are either under or over school age rem ain on cam pus w h ere they are involved in educational and vocational programs. Here, too, the em phasis is on enrichm ent of existing educational m aterial and im provem ent of vocational program s w ith no more diversified and challenging w ork. A fternoon activities are available to the residents. W e are interested in creating a volunteer netw ork of people w ho w ill contribute th e ir tim e and energy to Elwyn. The volunteers w ill w ork on im proving the physical plant and aiding the direct-care and professional staff eith e r w ith individuals or in groups. W e hope to utilise the talents and skills of our volunteers to expand our recreational program m ing into new areas. Elwyn also has a w ork activity program fo r clients w ho live in the com m unity. This is a day program in w hich the clients are taught basic w ork skills and appropriate behaviours. Goals for m any of these clients are entry into the com petitive m arket or supportive em ploym ent in th e co m m u n ity. Volunteers w ho w ork in conjunction w ith the day program, w ork w ith individual clients at the end of th e ir work day.
