6 TORONTO Joyce & Harry Raymond Ambulance Dedication Family and friends joined Joyce Raymond in Israel during Passover <strong>for</strong> the dedication of an ambulance in honor of her late husband, Harry z”l. Following the ceremony, which was held at the Jerusalem MDA station, the guests were able to explore the ambulance’s interior and were provided with explanations about the lifesaving equipment used to treat the sick and wounded. Avi Ironi Danny Sigesmund Toronto students get involved Toronto-area students are becoming more familiar with <strong>Magen</strong> <strong>David</strong> <strong>Adom</strong>, thanks to projects initiated by their teachers. Two such students are Avi Ironi and Danny Sigesmund. Avi is a grade 4 student at Associated Hebrew Schools. “I was assigned a project to teach my class about a charity that has touched my heart. I chose your charity because you help everyone around the world…I used glow sticks to show equipment that you have.” Danny, a grade 5 student at the Leo Baeck Day School, wrote “I was assigned a project to teach my class about <strong>Magen</strong> <strong>David</strong> <strong>Adom</strong>…For my event, I did a game where my classmates had to find a word that I chose out of a list of five words. Then they had to spell it with foam letters. I’m glad I got a chance to teach my class about <strong>Magen</strong> <strong>David</strong> <strong>Adom</strong>.” AROUND THE COUNTRY TORONTO HAMILTON In keeping with this motto, Hilda Rosen, Ambassador of <strong>CMDA</strong>’s Hamilton Chapter, will be embarking on a campaign to raise funds <strong>for</strong> a third rapid response emergency scooter. Because of its size and easy maneuverability, the scooter, which is driven by a qualified MDA paramedic, is very often first on the scene of an accident. Minutes can save lives and you can do your part by contributing to Hamilton’s third scooter. Contact Hilda Rosen at 905 529-4824 to make your tax deductible donation.
