step up is all about kids helping kids!

Funds from this year’s Step Up for Tu Bi’Shevat will go towards creating a park in the city of Sderot for the enjoyment of some 2,000 families, who lack appropriate, outdoor play facilities for their children and themselves. Sderot faces economic and social challenges that have been exacerbated by the ever-present threat of missiles and rockets fired from the adjacent Gaza Strip.

The state-of-the-art park and community centre will include sports fields, installation of sports equipment, gardening, trails, shops, cafes and drinking fountains. This special memorial project is being created in honour of the 66 soldiers who perished in Operation Protective Edge in Israel last summer.
