Israeli Volunteers Make a Difference in Puerto Rico

Federation overseas partner, The Jewish Agency for Israel, is on the ground making a difference in Puerto Rico in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. A delegation of Israeli volunteers recently arrived on the island to spend three months volunteering in a summer camp for local youth and rebuilding a community center in Loiza as part of The Jewish Agency’s Project TEN program. Project Ten brings together Jewish young adults to create sustainable change in vulnerable communities. In addition to Puerto Rico, Project TEN also operates in Mexico, Ghana, South Africa, Uganda and Israel. To support Federation and our overseas partners, click here to make a donation.
