• Ongoing individual contact between the center administrator and the parents, for example: Translating notes from school, helping parents learn to contribute positively to their children's education, in some cases MAKSAM staff even accompany parents to parent/teacher meetings
• Traditional Ethiopian celebrations organized by the volunteer team of parents.
• Mentoring assistance to other Ethiopian communities throughout Israel who wish to replicate the MAKSAM model.

• MAKSAM’s Seniors program

Parents (and even grandparents) of our pupils, seeing the positive influence that MAKSAM has had on the lives of their offspring approached the Gidon Association requesting that a program for themselves. The “MAKSAM Seniors” program operates twice a week (Monday and Wednesday mornings) in four locations around Hadera. The participants enjoy Hebrew classes, Art & Craft classes with MAKSAM’s talented Art Teacher and even Keep Fit with a Wingate -trained Ethiopian community worker.
