Members of the Paktor family and senior representatives of the IDB Group toured various Jewish Agency projects, including the Youth Futures project, in Sderot together with representatives of the Jewish Agency and Keren Hayesod. 

The tour represents part of the partnership between the Jewish Agency and Keren Hayesod via the Paktor family from the Netherlands and the IDB Group.

The Paktor family has been donating to Sderot and Shaar Hanegev for many years and the same applies to the IDB Group. The two groups have teamed up to support the Youth Futures project.  During their tour they met with children and trustees and toured the town's schools.

They met with the director of the Education Department, Ms. Miriam Pappi and with the director of the community center, Avi Suleimani, who provided them with a rundown on what is going on in the town currently.

Participating in the tour were Ms. Louise Paktor, of the Netherlands, Mr. Rami Mardor, director general of the IDB Fund, David Levy, projects director of the IDB Fund, and representatives of the Jewish Agency.

The Jewish Agency takes satisfaction in establishing partnerships between Jewish donors from abroad and Israeli partners including institutional ones.  The partnership approach contributes both to Jewish solidarity and usually results in more effective assistance to worthy projects.  To find out more about how you can help in worthy projects, click here.
