In order to promote this venture, a joint meeting was conducted for the representatives of all the aid and volunteer-based organizations in Israel in the Meir Panim branch of Dimona. 50 representatives of various organizations that are involved with the JDC-Israel’s Matov Project took part in this meeting.
During the event, Meir Panim Chairman Dudi Zilbershlag provided a short survey of the activities in the “third sector” (the general term for volunteer institutions and non-profit organizations). Mr. Nissim Elmakayis, the local branch manager, familiarized the participants with Meir Panim’s activities in Dimona among the neighborhood residents and youth clubs and its other various volunteer projects.
