MBKI is partnering with a grass roots group of moms in three rural villages in the Benjaminite hills north of Jerusalem to build a kindergarten that will be a model for the entire nation of Israel. The design and intent of this unique kindergarten is to bring the natural beauty of the land into the kindergarten through experiential ecological learning. The first class of 24 children will begin their adventure of learning and exploration through interactive organic farming in cleverly constructed hot houses. They will be introduced to sustainability, recycling water conservation, animal care and a love of farming from the first day they enter their interactive building. In addition, MBKI is continuing our commitment to fight childhood illiteracy with the construction of our 6th kindergarten library dedicated in the memory of Shlomit Krigman hy”d.
Friends, we are helping to build this kindergarten from the ground up. This initiative is a legacy project named after 1st Sergeant Dror Alton hy”d age 29 (pictured below) who fell in combat the morning of October 7, 2023 in the battle of Yad Mordechai Junction. Dror was more than an explosive ordnance disposal operator for the elite National Counter-Terroism unit. Dror was a father, husband and community member who loved nature and hiking throughout the land of Israel. In a few years, Dror’s son will attend the kindergarten we are building in his memory.
