Description

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new Holocaust Program! Each week, volunteers from our organisation will be visiting Holocaust survivors in aged care, offering them extra support and regular companionship at the time in their lives when they need it most. The program is being sponsored by Bindy & David Koadlow, who launched and financed a similar program in Israel, with much success, as well as other generous sponsors.
To volunteer for this program and help bring some joy to those who have been through so much, please visit www.smileonseniors.org.au/volunteering .
