Israeli House, India

http://www.tripi.co.il/ShowItem.action?item=4957385

I have volunteered in the Israeli House from 31.12.07 till 17.02.08 and helped organize everything for the next opening in Goa this year again from October till March the next year.
Right now the Israeli House in Arambol has been closed by the Indian government and the responsible parties in Israel want to make a new start with the Israeli House being a Non – Governmental - Organization (NGO)
This takes some bureaucratic re-organization of the whole project.

With the help of Manas and of course Omri, from Kfar Izun, who are both still fully involved in the project, we all hope that things will work out and we can see all of the travelers again in Arambol in the Israeli House.
Meanwhile Manas is working in his travel agency in Manali (north India) and generously helps every Israeli traveler who needs help and support .

The work in the Israeli House is not only there to help the drug-injured (also called “flip cases) but to aid all travelers and backpackers -young and old- in any contingency.
The consul in Bombay called us a kind of mini-consulate which takes care of Israelis in any kind of trouble and distress.
We have a very long arm and can reach further than you can imagine, so try us!
