Dear Friends,
It's that time of year again, the annual toy drive for Israel- "Miles of Smiles". With your
help last year was a tremendous success 250 stuffed animals were distributed to children in the following hospitals, Hadassah
Ein Keren, Bikur Cholim and Sharre Tzedek, in addition we stocked Bikur Cholim's play room with loads of toys and also distributed
orange stuffed animal teddy bears to children from Gush Katiff that were sent out of their homes just a few days after
we arrived in Israel. Another exciting piece of news is that Miles of Smiles was featured on UPN channel 9 news in New
York last summer, and while in Israel we were also taped for CNN news and another Israeli English speaking News/Israel National
Radio.
Baruch Hashem Israir has generously given us extra luggage allotment for the stuffed animals.
