Review for AMIT - Philadelphia Council / Shira Chapter, Philadelphia, PA, USA
I've visited AMIT schools and residences in Israel and seen the incredible dedication of the principals, teachers, counselors, and rabbis. AMIT's children come from all backgrounds, and include some of the most disadvantaged children in Israel. Every student is encouraged to reach for his/her potential, and strive for excellence. AMIT is innovative and its results are amazing! I've been a volunteer fundraiser in the Philadelphia area for years and I love it.
