“We spent the morning with refugee children playing with them in the park. We had the opportunity to see the type of day care the children were in and be able to take them out of that basement very full room to a local park. There they were able to run around, play on the jungle gym and various toys. It was a great experience giving back to them in a way where not only did they get to have fun but as a volunteer, we had fun as well. Spending time outside and seeing the smile on the children’s faces made the day feel filled with accomplishment even before lunchtime.
My first experience volunteering with OneDay was amazing; it was also a unique experience working with refugee children. The stigma that going into South Tel Aviv where many of the refugee families live is not a safe area. They say south Tel Aviv is filled with poverty and crime. This experience working with the refugee children showed us an area of south Tel Aviv where it looked like a normal city, and the children are just like every other child you would meet. Take them outside to a park and they will run around and just have fun.” - Sasha
