In 2002 I was involved in a fatal car accident
with my family, in which I lost my older sister.
My older brother has been handicapped and attached to a ventillator ever since.
We started raising money because the family
can't afford to cover the costs.
I spoke to a former classmate about all of this.
This wheelchair costs over 176,000 shekels.
When Yoni approached us with this initiative,
the pre-military academy immediately volunteered to help.
I think this is one of the things that best embodies the academy's values...
Volunteering to help others, commitment to other people.
I think it's very important for the Rabin academy campus to be accessible.
They should have equal rights and equal opportunities,
the same ones that I enjoy. They'll have an environment tailored to their needs.
Disabled people shouldn't be different than anyone else.
They should experience the academy just like everyone else, if they're suitable.
And I believe that this major project that they are launching
can not only further this idea, it can set a certain standard
for other academies as well.
At the beginning of the year, we are assigned to our volunteer activities.
It's really hard work, but it's meaningful for all of us.
It's very demanding...
It also gives us many values, which I can apply more broadly in the outside world,
like giving, helping others, receiving...
It's just an incredible volunteering experience.
This chair is basically
the reason I can do anything at all.
I'm truly grateful to the Rabin Pre-Military Academy.
The Rabin academy champions social responsibility.
For us, it's an opportunity to open the academy to other populations that were unable to join until now,
disabled populations, in particular, and to open our gates to them.
I'd like to ask you to help us do this.
We have a one-time opportunity to make the academy accessible to the disabled.
I'd like you to participate in this exciting campaign, so that we can meet our objective.
