Several months ago I arranged for the Kathryn Ames Foundation delegation to visit the Hut Hameshulash's (The Three Fold Cord) project 'Bayit Cham L'Banot'. Located in a donated villa in northern Jerusalem, the 'Bayit Cham L'Banot' (Warm Home for Homeless Girls) provides 12 girls, ages 17-22, some of whom are pregnant, with a period of up to a year in an extended family framework,. They receive counseling, vocational training, and a chance to stabilize their lives and choose a positive path for the future. I am very pleased to start my week with the happy news that the foundation has approved a $10,000 grant. Mazal Tov to Yigal Goldstein, the director, and Sivan, the project manager!
