NESTO - Native English-Speaking Teen Olim
This week in junior NESTO we teamed up with SoaringBridges-to-Israel (an initiative of Soaringwords – for more information: Yoni Fuld 067-234-614) and to begin our Chesed program of the year.

SoaringWords is a non-profit organization devoted to helping millions of sick children and their families heal. Soaringwords uses both the power of the internet and the human support network to help these children and their families.

Over the course of the year Junior NESTO chaninchim will devote a number of sessions to Soaringword activities. The activities will be incorporated into arts and crafts, computer labs as well as community outreach activities.
This week we spent our time introducing the Soaringwords website and getting a feel for the great work that they do. We also had an opportunity to try our hand through dramatic and outrageous scenarios to demonstrate how not to behave when visiting the sick. We concluded the night by coming up with our own brochure to guide a visitor when they go to visit the sick. 
In other news, Senior NESTO spent this Tuesday packaging food for the needy in Yad Eliezer, and we look forward to the great Shabbaton coming up this week.

That's all for now Shabbat Shalom from all of us here at NESTO
