District Governor 2009-2010
Pnina Efrati |
"LOOKING FOR THE FUTURE"
The Ness Ziona Lions Club, No.100021 will be in charge of the Youth
Exchange and Camp Program in District 128, Israel,
in the summer of
2010.
The Ness Ziona Lions Club was founded in 2007 and is one
of the 34 Lions &
Leo clubs in Israel.
The local YCE program
will take place between July 18 and August 8, 2010.
The Camp's name and aims recreate the present year District Governor, Lion Pnina Efrati's motivational goal: "Looking for the Future".
Participants will take a quest of joy and comradeship, touring through landscapes and sites from all times in prehistory and history, looking for a better future for themselves, mankind and planet earth.
The tentative program is
already set. The young participants will be hosted for one week by local families. During the two additional weeks they will participate in a "wandering camp", thus touring the country by private bus to enjoy sightseeing, historical sites, the beaches of 3 different seas, and the mosaic of various cultures and traditions the country offers.
The Nazareth Lions Club No 49721 and The Nazareth
Maris Valley Lions Club No.60756 will host the Camp during a weekend
while accommodating the participants at Lions Clubs members homes.
The
final plan is still subject to changes.

Some
info you need to be aware of
● Most Israelis of both sexes, 18 to
21 years old, are called to serve in the Israeli
Defence Forces. Profuse presence of uniformed people in public places does not
necessarily mean that something exceptional is happening.
● Hosting families
will make their best to let you feel comfortable. If you have
any doubt or problem, do not hesitate in openly discussing it
with your hosts and/or the Camp Director.
● In Israel, security measures and
practices in public places -and especially airports- can
sometimes seem severe. Yet, they are always well meant - for
your protection.
● Geographically, Israel's
territory is part of a narrow land corridor between two
continents: Eurasia & Africa. This corridor
was already described in biblical times as a migration route for
many fowl species. Over
500 million birds
that come and go every spring and autumn over Israel spread
small amounts of pollen and other antigens. A tiny percentage of
first time visitors may develop sensibility (allergies) to such
substances. Spices you might taste for the first time
could have the same effect. Please let your hosts know
immediately if you develop any kind of skin or respiratory
affection, in order to let them help you overcome it.
