Why did you choose to volunteer with ENP?

It is special to work in an environment where everyone around you is focused on making a positive change, and impacting the local community.

What do you hope to achieve through your experience with ENP?

I hope to make a difference! As an new Israeli citizen, I have become quickly aware of the groups which comprise the country's population, and the struggles they face. The issues Ethiopians deal with regarding integration are being minimized through the amazing work of ENP. I am excited to be a part of it, and to hopefully enable further opportunities within Ethiopian-Israeli society.

What I love about Israel:

That everyone, no matter what their background, manages to feel at home here. In a country so small, the range of culture and people is enormous.
