Due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 virus worldwide, the 2009-2010 school year was a very challenging and extraordinary year. We started the year as usual with groups from all sectors and populations but from mid-March, immediately after the Purim holiday, all our activities and treatments were postponed immediately and unexpectedly.
This year we were able to add another therapist from the Arab sector to our team and two more groups from the Afak School in Zur Baher. This is something we have been trying to do for several years but without success. We are now planning to add more groups from the Arab sector next year.
Also this year, for the first time a male therapist has joined us on the team. Thus we now have a person who serves as a positive role model for the children. We saw that his presence was a healing experience for children coming from high-risk families.
In addition to this employee, we hired another new therapist this year. She too intends to continue with us next year. Except for one staff member, the rest of the team continued from previous years.
Keep Healthy,
Rachael and the AAT Team.
