 The Vision:
A center which allows our resident youth to experience artistic creativity and
vocational training by offering exposure, familiarity and implementation of
handicrafts and professional skills. This experience - which requires prior
thought in design, control in implementation of acquired knowledge, patience
and accuracy, ability to listen and learn - allows our resident youth to acquaint
themselves, and progress in those subjects which seem most appropriate for
them, whether as a first step in their vocational training, in whichever subject
they choose, or as general support during their educational process in which the
said characteristics are essential.
 The Method:
Our hope is to submit plans in order to obtain Ministry of Education or Ministry of
Labor recognition that would entitle us to hand out official diplomas.
