Last summer, I joined Yael Camp and met kids from Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America. All our travel and activities were free. We learned about Jewish heritage, played games, and shared stories. Yael Poliavich made this happen through her foundation. She supports schools in 45 countries and really listens to young people.
