1 If we raise more money, we can create real change in this neighborhood and make it a model, for other neighborhoods in Israel and maybe even for other places in the world. -YUVAL COHEN Their neighborhood was rundown and neglected even before the Second Lebanon War, when the town of Kiryat Shemona, torn and traumatized by Katyushas, made headlines. Yuval Cohen, 27, has strived to change that. He and five friends founded Ayalim, which builds student villages in tough, underprivileged neighborhoods, bringing 100 col lege students to take part in activities with the residents. In Kiryat Shemona, with volunteer workers and funding from Federation’s partner agency, they have renovated four blocks, rebuilt a community center and created a beautiful park. One third of all Israeli children live at or below the poverty level. In response. Federation is working with a broad array of partners to build holistic, caring communities that can meet immediate crises, and take on systemic challenges. With your help, we can do more. www.jewishcharlotte.org 704-944-6757 JEWISH^ FEDE^RATION^ HARLOTTE' Local, Global, Eternal
