Hope all is well--

I was wondering if there was anything our students can do to help from our current location in Jerusalem. In addition to raising money, is there anything that could be done to help the residents of the south?

Unfortunately, we can not go anywhere at the moment. We have a group of North American students whose parents are currently very nervous to even have their children in Jerusalem.
