Youth Futures Dimona has been supported for the last three years by Young CIA (Young Leadership of Collectieve Israel Actie) of the Keren Hayesod's Dutch Campaign.

As part of the process of building a connection between Holland and Dimona, some sixty students from the Maimonides high school visited the project last December and participated in various activities held for Hanukkah with the children and their Trustees.

Following their return to Amsterdam, they took the initiative to raise funds during a special evening held recently called Maimonides for Dimona. As a result of this evening event, the students succeeded in collecting a  substantial amount of money by selling 'goodies' and food that they had prepared for the occasion. The students have decided to donate those funds as a Purim gift to the children of Youth Futures Dimona thereby adding to the joy of their Purim celebrations.
