On July 24, over 40 Habonim Dror participants from Latin America came to the JAFI offices in Be'er Sheva to participate in a live video conference with their families in Brazil and Uruguay. This was an opportunity for parents to connect with their children whom they haven't seen for five months.

Participants shared their experiences in Israel with their families at home – the daily routine, the challenges, and the friendships they've made with Israelis, Parents and family both expressed their love and support for the participants and wished them well during the remainder of their stay here.
