Special helping hands
Josh Ferenbach and Ruthie Ben-Danan from Access Inc, recently worked in the Australian Friends of the Hebrew University-Vic office assisting with a bulk mail-out.
The idea of involving Access Inc participants was generated from a meeting Eitan Drori, Executive Director attended last year at which breaking down barriers, and work inclusion were discussed.
Pam Buchanek, Office Manager at the Australian Friends of the Hebrew University coordinated and gave oversight to this initiative. Buchanek felt new relationships were developed between the two organisations and that it was a mutually beneficial exercise.
She said Josh and Ruth were a delight to have in the office, hard-working, very willing, quick to learn and very reliable.
The Friends of the Hebrew University looks forward to having an ongoing relationship with Access Inc. Past students who attended Rothberg International School programs at the Hebrew University, Guillermo Aranguren, Jonathan Aldor and Marcus Frajman also volunteered their time alongside Josh and Ruthie.
