We started our day at a children's summer camp in Metula. We split into small groups with a few fellows and a camper, moving around the campus doing various interactive activities, including teaching English numbers, letters, and animals.
From there we moved to our teenage part of the day, starting at Hafuch Al hafuch, a cafe for youth to hang out in, play board games, drink coffee and maybe discuss any problems they may be facing. We heard about their mission and participated in discussion about our own lives as teens.
Our second stage in the teenage years was rafting at Kfar Blum in the Jordan river. It was incredibly fun and refreshing, with no shortage of splash wars. The theme of generations was present throughout our day.
We finished our day at the Vancouver house with a presentation by Holocaust survivor Chaim Vital Shimon. He completed our day by discussing his work with children and how he uses art to not only cope with the traumatic events he has been through, but also stay positive and spread joy to the lives of the younger generation.
