Israeli students finish field work in Nagpur
A group of seven students of international social work from Sapir College, Israel, went back after three-week field work in the city. On their last day in the city they were presented mementos and certificates by Matru Sewa Sangh Institute of Social Work (MSSISW), which coordinated the field work for the Israeli students.
In a small programme, all seven students; Orit Bani, Yael Porat, Nofar Sasson, May Amram, Yara Golan, Vared Kauffman and Lani Tal and their teacher Rebecca Ranz, were given certificates and mementos for successfully completing their field work in India. Dr Ravi Wankhede was guest of honour and John Menachery, principal of MSSISW, was also present along with teacher coordinator from the college Geetha Thachil.
The teary-eyed Israeli students said they were taking warm memories back home. "We are happy that we are going back to our families and friends, but our hearts are heavy. I wish our families could come here so that we would not have to leave Nagpur," said Yael Porat, promising that she would come back to India for sure.
The students and teachers said they were touched by the hope and positivity that they saw in Indian children in spite of the difficult conditions they endured. Apart from social work field visits, the Israeli and Indian students organised Israeli and Indian Night programmes, where they cooked delicacies from both countries. This is the second year that students of Sapir College have visited Nagpur.
