Happiness in children's eyes

Volunteers from Hillel Odesa and Beri Foundation joined forces to create a true miracle for children

This year, volunteers from Hillel Odesa teamed up with Beri Foundation to bring light, kindness, and authentic Purim joy to at-risk children. As part of the "Bring Joy" charity initiative, they organized an unforgettable celebration brimming with warmth, engaging games, and heartfelt emotions.

The event began with an interactive telling of Purim - the holiday symbolizing light’s triumph over darkness. But this time, the story didn’t just unfold verbally; it came alive through a unique Purim card game specially designed for the children by volunteers. The kids dove into this thrilling adventure, discovering the holiday’s wisdom and traditions through play. Joyful laughter, eager eyes, and excitement created a magical atmosphere brimming with genuine emotion.

Beyond games and conversation, the children experienced another meaningful moment - the giving of Mishloach Manot. These festive gift baskets, filled with treats and sweet surprises, became more than just a tradition; they were a true expression of care and love. The volunteers prepared them with extra warmth, ensuring every child felt valued and cherished.

This day will be remembered not only by the children but by everyone who helped make it happen. Beri Foundation and Hillel Odesa once again proved that together, we can achieve great and meaningful things. Thank you to all who help create kindness - may there be many more such joyful moments!
