Global Awareness Day - On 8th July 2007

GIFT held a Global Awareness Day in Hendon, collecting clothes for Israel and Eastern Europe; shoes for Africa and toys for needy kids worldwide.  The response was phenomenal - members of the community flocked - very grateful to be able to get rid of their unwanted clothes, shoes etc to such a good cause – we received almost 200 black bags full of clothes, shoes & toys – over 1000 kilos were collected, sorted and have been delivered to World Jewish Relief, for Jewish communities in eastern Europe as well as the Jewish Cultural Centre, for needy families around Israel .
 
World Jewish Relief came in to speak about the situation in Darfur and we also heard about Aish’s work in an orphanage in Soweto, Africa.
 
New volunteers also signed up for GIFT and WJR. The event was publicised on facebook, edgware k, jewpro, schools and synagogues and flyers around Hendon, Edgware and Golders Green.”

Tsunami Appeal - 2004

In April 2004 GIFT recruited, trained and sent 28 volunteers to tsunami devastated Thailand. They raised over £20K which they distributed to building projects, orphanages and development schemes. As a team they restored, built and refurbished buildings, furniture and housing development units. The GIFT team also delivered food and medicines to areas of specific need.
