Elior is just like his name - G-d's light, warm and bright.

Elior is a third grader in the Tahkemoni school in Tiberias, and ever since becoming a Youth Futures participant, he's also taking a computer (Tapuah) course, and tennis lessons - two things he's always wanted to do.

He never takes anything he gets for granted, and always says a polite and endearing "thank you". 

Once Elior and I went to a pizza parlour, and he was so excited that he skipped the whole way there. When we got our pizzas, he ate his portion with pleasure, and said "thank you, Moran, this is really good". I was so moved by his reaction, I never thought that a pizza could make a boy so happy!

I feel very happy with my work, thanks to Elior and the rest of my children. Seeing these young children grow and become more open, more trusting and stronger than before is very rewarding and gratifying.
