Simcha LaYeled’s new northern branch will be located in Haifa, near the Carmel Forest.
The branch will oversee Simcha LaYeled’s activities for the entire northern region of Israel from Netanya to the town of Shlomi.
We are currently run our Big Brother/ Big Sister Mentor program for 90 children from the area.
The branch also operates Simcha Layeled activities in regional hospitals and medical facilities such as Rambam Medical Center in Haifa, Carmel Medical Center in Haifa, and Bnei Zion (Rothschild) Medical Center also in Haifa.
The branch counts two National Service volunteers among its staff. These volunteers run various activities for children who are hospitalized in these medical centers, including a Kabbalat Shabbat service and other entertaining activities.
Operations are closely coordinated between Simcha Layeled volunteers and staff and local hospitals, doctors and health care professionals. In this sense, our activities have become integral to tending to the needs of sick children across the northern region and their families.
Throughout the year, we also run activities such as night events and social meet ups for mothers, birthday parties for sick children, and parental support groups.
