I am excited to be participating in the Dream Israel Teen Initiative and raising funds for important projects in Israel. Jewish National Fund-USA supports Israel and Israelis in a number of ways. The money that I am raising will go towards funding several important Environmental Studies scholarships for students at the Arava Institute and AICAT. Scholarships to Israeli, Palestinian and Jordanian students enable the Arava Institute to maintain cultural diversity within the student body and ensure different social representation at the Institute. The common goal of environmental innovation — irrigation, conservation, biodiversity and environmental protections— can bring people who live in the region together.
 
If I meet my fundraising goal, Jewish National Fund-USA will provide me with a grant towards my own Israel educational experience studying at Tichon Ramah Yerushalayim, ensuring my opportunity both to meet Israelis whose lives have been changed due to our support, and to explore my own connection to Israel.

Please consider supporting this important initiative and my efforts to meet my fundraising goal! Thank you so much.
