Surrogate Parents

Prior to their acceptance at Sanhedria, these couples are required to undergo personality and psychological testing to ascertain their abilities to successfully handle the undertaking of 'surrogate parents'. They are professionally trained in programs provided by the Ministry of Social Welfare. The roles of the 'foster parents' require compassion, kindness and caring. These qualities come from the hearts of the positive and energetic young people who have committed to this difficult and challenging task as their profession.

Computer Enrichment

This innovative program was launched during the past year in order to keep up with the modern demands of education and is intended to be both recreational and instructive. It allows the children to bridge educational gaps at their own pace in material that they often have difficulty with, eg. math, reading comprehension and English. The PC is a medium which is fun for the children, and of course, today it is an absolute must in all educational disciplines. In addition, these games encourage the children to develop a deftness and a skill that they can use to advance themselves. The computer enrichment program is professionally supervised. State of the art computers and games were provided for by donors.
