Canadians fund shelter playground for kibbutz near Gaza

September 10, 2015 News

Last year Sagit Milshtein Sadi, now a mother of three, set out to build a playground in an underground bomb shelter for the children of her kibbutz, Mefalsim, near the Gaza border in Israel. 

Everyone told her it would cost too much money and involve too much aggravation. But she kept pushing, and with the help of donations from generous Canadians, she achieved her dream and the playground is set to open for Rosh Hashanah.
