MITF Ramle FT

Ramla offers the perfect opportunity for someone looking to make a huge impact in Israel. Ramla is a low-income area where only 47% of high school students graduate with a Bagrut matriculation certificate (a certificate that is required to continue to higher education). Ramla is home to a richly diverse population of Jewish- and Arab-Israelis, and 24% of its residents comprise immigrant communities from the Former Soviet Union and Ethiopia. Ramla is located conveniently between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, and is a brief bus or train ride from either city. Ramla is a beautiful blend of ancient and modern Israel, featuring historical landmarks such as the White Tower and the Pool of Arches. Streets are fragrant with captivating smells of exotic foods from the shuk (outdoor market) and abuzz with the sounds of conversations held in multiple languages.
