MAKSAM, a network of six neighborhood centers founded by Ethiopian volunteers in Hadera, helps Ethiopian-Israeli children integrate into mainstream Israeli society.
MAKSAM is operated by the Gidon Association of Ethiopian Jews, a non-profit organization committed to improving the future outlook for Hadera's young Ethiopian-Israelis by providing academic reinforcement, youth programs that strengthen social skills and self esteem, and educational programs that improve the coping skills of their local community. |
The word MAKSAM in the Amharic language describes the process of a bee passing from flower to flower collecting nectar and producing honey.
