Story
Thanks for visiting our page!
We are Amelie, Darcey, Eden, Estie, Natan, Ethan, Isaac, Jack, Mia, Jake, Samuel, Jacob and Sofia…members of Stanmore Shul’s Bar/Bat Mitzvah programme!
Last year, our community made history by becoming the first community programme to officially partner with a Youth Village in Israel (it’s in Hadera, near the beach, and it’s called ‘Talpiot’), through our friends at Jewish Child’s Day (we love them!).
Before we get to the ‘ask’, let’s tell you a bit more about this amazing organisation…
What is Talpiot Youth Village?
Talpiot Village supports 200 children and provides services to hundreds more, aged between 5-18. Often referred by social services or by court order, most of the children at Talpiot have experienced neglect or abuse in their homes. Talpiot acts swiftly to restore calm and normalcy to their lives by establishing a stable, supportive and sensitive environment. The children are placed in one of ten residential care units within the village. Each of these is run by care-giving foster families who provide the love, attention and support the children deserve but have often been denied.
How can you help?
As part of our partnership with Talpiot, we have each ‘twinned’ with a boy or girl from the Village and have started joint events and projects with them. In September, we plan to fly our ‘twins’ over to London for the trip of a lifetime! We will finally get to meet them in person, show them the sights and celebrate Shabbat with them as they enjoy a much-needed break.
But we need your help to do this. Please help us to help our twins from Talpiot. We will be running the Maccabi Fun Run on Sunday 22nd June as a team and will also be individually fundraising through this page until September.
Our target to bring over our 12 ‘twins’ and their staff/carers is £13,000.
Thank you so much for your help, we appreciate any donation you give!
