AND BABY (NAMED ‘ADI’!) MAKES THREE! 🐣🍼

AND BABY (NAMED ‘ADI’!) MAKES THREE! 🐣🍼 Two years ago, Peter and Gerdien left their family, friends and community in the Netherlands behind to volunteer at ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran. With a wide smile and a can-do attitude, Peter lent a hand at the residential villas and became a certified hydrotherapist so he could assist with residents and special education students at the hydrotherapy complex. With an angelic presence, Gerdien spent her days as a nurse ensuring that each resident and special education student received the specialized care they needed to thrive. Upon completing their extended volunteering stint at the rehabilitation village, they returned home to their friends and family in the Netherlands with wonderful memories…and a surprise in store. Just a few weeks after returning home, Peter and Gerdien welcomed their first child to the world: a beautiful baby girl named ‘Hannah Adi.’ Now, every time they look at their bundle of joy, they will remember how their hearts soared and their lives changed when they became a part of the ADI family. Congrats, Peter and Gerdien! We are so happy for you! 💚

🍋🌿♿ PACKED WITH POTENTIAL: The Negev Works

🍋🌿♿ PACKED WITH POTENTIAL: The Negev Workshop – ADI Ofakim is a unique employment center (just a few kilometers from ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran) that provides individuals from Israel’s south with varied levels of disabilities with a framework for personal advancement, social integration and gainful employment. In anticipation of the Sukkot holiday, the Negev Workshop employees are busy packing sets of “Arbat Haminim” for our partner, ‘Netinat Lulav,’ a wonderful organization that adds an extra touch of charity to the process of acquiring the four species. By purchasing your Arbat Haminim through Netinat Lulav, you can 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘇𝘃𝗮𝗵 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗗𝗜 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝗴𝗲𝘃 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸.

𝗔𝗱𝗶@𝗔𝗗𝗜: I have the honor and privilege of spending much of my time at ADI Jerusalem and ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran, and I am always in awe of the quality of care that our ADI residents and special education students receive from their teachers, therapists, doctors, nurses and volunteers. Thanks to their dedication, each member of our ADI family receives the tools and opportunities to thrive and reach their greatest potentials. This week, I had the opportunity to get to know P'nina Hirschfield, a Speech and Language Pathologist at ADI Jerusalem, who explained the benefits of the individualized growth plans and specialized services provided for our ADI residents and special education students:

“There was one student I worked with who had a very complex syndrome. He had been at ADI for a year already, and he wasn’t able to communicate, was not walking, and had frequent tantrums throughout the day during which he became inconsolable, and his parents were very distraught. I attended many meetings about this specific child together with his teacher, the Physical Therapist and the Occupational Therapist to decide how to best support him. As a team, we were able to come up with some strategies. Because we designed a consistent personalized treatment plan for him that was implemented by every staff member who worked with him, we were able to see drastic improvements. By the middle of the year, his tantrums had decreased, he was standing independently and he began using a few signs consistently. By the end of the year, he was walking, had more than 20 words and was speaking in two-word sentences! At ADI, we truly believe that the best way to help child reach their maximum potentials is by working together as a team to give them individualized care.”

💚 WELCOME TO THE FAMILY! 💚 Yesterday, the students of Mechinat Ruach HaNegev, an exceptional Negev-based gap-year program focused on volunteering and community building, visited one of the communities where they hope to contribute most over the course of the year: the ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran rehabilitation village. After receiving an overview of ADI Negev’s vision and programming, ADI’s North American Director of Development Elie Klein led the eager young volunteers and their program's Executive Director Etan Zivan on a tour of the expansive and innovative village. They asked wonderfully insightful questions, interacted beautifully with the residents and special education students, and met several of the ADI staff and volunteers, all of whom look forward to working alongside this impressive group of young men in the weeks ahead. May this be the beginning of another empowering and impactful year!

❤️ Another ADI Family Wedding! 🍾 Throughout

❤️ Another ADI Family Wedding! 🍾 Throughout high school, Yaakov was a dedicated ADI Jerusalem volunteer. Now an IDF soldier, he still goes out of his way to come "home" to ADI during his off days. Yaakov has developed such a deep connection with the ADI residents and his fellow volunteers, that he couldn’t imagine celebrating his wedding to his beloved, Aviah, without them. Yaakov and Aviah were incredibly emotional when they greeted the ADI residents on their special day – it made their hearts sing to include the ADI family in this momentous occasion. Here’s to Yaakov and Aviah on their life's journey together! And here’s to our amazing volunteers who live and breathe inclusion!
