Remark:
The Dollar/ New Shekel rate at the end of the year was around 4.2 NIS per American Dollar.
We signed contracts with operators, at the beginning of 2006, when the exchange rate was
4.5 NIS per Dollar and above.
It took more dollars to pay the P2K contracts and payments-, which we make in New Shekels.

One hundred and twenty people were active in 8 different Warm Houses in the different Beer-Sheva

The Karev program's enrichment activities enable its participants to get equal opportunities in the Israeli

Naaleh
Partnership 2000 Budget for 2006: $ 25,000
The project, introduced to facilitate better integration of Naaleh participants at the Mevo’ot Hanegev
School in Bnei Shimon. The project included tutoring to facilitate classroom integration and internalization
of study material.
The highlight of the project is the trip to Poland. Thanks to the P2K funds, the Naaleh students were able
to join the trip to Poland with their Israeli peers.
Sixteen Naaleh students traveled to Poland in November 2006. They also participated in the month's
long process of preparing the students to this emotional and unique experience.
Due to cancellation of Montreal youth trips to Israel following the Lebanon war- the P2k decided to
redirect some of its unused funds towards purchasing air-condition units to lonely soldiers from the
Naaleh veteran groups.
