SACH (Save A Child’s Heart) is an amazing Israeli organization who takes children with heart diseases (and family members) from developing countries all around the world into Israel and performs heart surgeries, and help them in their recovery period before they fly them back to their respective countries. They are a non-profit organization, supported by donations.
Each year, Israel on Campus puts together a Fundraiser for SACH. Let’s make this year Memorable. Come out and support SACH!!
2 Israelis and 2 Iranians will be discussing their life in their respective countries, followed by a Q&A.
This is NOT a political panel, but a social discussion of life and education. We hope to see you in this historical and peaceful event, and learn about the lives of these people and their cultures.
