Save The Date! 29 December 2010

On 29 December 2010 Earth’s Promise expanded its communal garden project in Be’er Sheva.

We are expanding the second part - Chelek Bet of the Kalisher garden, thus allowing more families from the absorption centre to get involved and partake in the communal garden.

If you happen to be around from 09:00 – 13:00 we would greatly appreciate your help that day. It is going to be a special moment that we want to share with you!

See you very soon :-)
