20.01.2022 Chedva Schoener 1951 - 2020 It is with great sadness that we write that this week, Chedva Schoener, a beloved volunteer and member of the Arava Australia Partnership family passed away. Chedva, a veteran kindergarten teacher in the Arava, joined our partnership after participating in the 2012 Kindergarten Teacher Exchange program.... Chedva’s energy, positive attitude, creativity and commitment to the partnership was boundless, participating in steering committee and volunteer meetings as well as hosting delegations and individuals visiting the Arava. We will remember Chedva, not only for all of these qualities, but also for her humanity, great warmth and beautiful smile. To the Schoener family, we wish you Arichat Yamim at this time of great loss. Chedva’s memory and legacy will be cherished and will live on in the many lives she has touched. .................................................................... 1951-2020 , 14.9.2020 . , . . . . . , . 2012 . . , , . .

16.01.2022 New Partnership Project in the Arava With all the changes to the Israeli education system over the last year due to our Corona world, we are proud to be collaborating with the Arava Education Department to create 'Community Learning Centres' in each of the Arava communities for students in grade 5-12. The aim of these centres is to give the students a change from distance learning and provide a more structured, social and student driven learning environment and e...xperience where they can also receive support and guidance from teachers and volunteers who will be supervising the space. We wish all the Arava students good luck with their studies this year and hope that they will enjoy using the learning centres!

13.01.2022 Partnership reflections during the month of Elul from Stacy Hayman " For the past 6 years I have had the privilege of being the Australian National Co-ordinator for the Partnership. It has been such a rewarding role both personally and professionally where I have been able to develop and implement incredible programs that connect our two communities and at the same time make so many special friends in the Arava. ... The Arava is not only my home away from home in Israel but a very unique desert community that shows us all that it is possible to make the impossible possible and live the Zionist dream.

05.01.2022 Sending some sweetness to our lone soldiers for the New Year! Last week our partnership sent Rosh Hashanah care packages to Australian Olim (people who have moved to Israel and become citizens) who made Aliyah with Garin Tzabar and are currently undertaking national service. Garin Tzabar is an organization which provides a full support system for young Olim through their IDF service.... We hope that these packages, which included products made by local Arava farmers including honey, silan (a date honey/syrup) and aloe vera soap gave the soldiers a sense of comfort and community as they brought in and celebrated the new year on base or at home; and for them to know that the Arava community is here for them; with whatever they may need as they start to build their lives here in Israel. ................................................ , ". , , . . . . , ". !
