Waves of Hope Emergency Campaign
HaGal Sheli’s Plan of Action
HaGal Sheli is initiating an emergency Waves of Hope campaign to support the Gaza Strip communities that endured profound trauma as a result of the dreadful events of October 7th. HaGal Sheli’s surf educational programming has been dedicated to aiding youth experiencing hardships and trauma for the past decade.
Our mission is clear: to deliver an urgent educational intervention for the victims through 2 pivotal programs:
Waves of Relief
Our seafront education centers follow Home Front Command guidelines to offer safe stress-relief days for displaced individuals. Through HaGal Sheli’s beach events, we aim to provide solace to those who have suffered greatly and offer a glimmer of hope. The healing power of surfing in a supportive environment allows evacuated families to gather in a safe space, process their emotions, and find a moment of normalcy, if only for a day.
Tools from the Waves
HaGal Sheli provides specialized educational programs to assist individuals aged 14-23 cope with complex war-related traumas. In 2022, we collaborated with the Defense Ministry to develop and implement a successful PTSD program, which HaGal Sheli adapted for the current crisis. Our program comprises meetings led by educators, professional psychologists, and social workers, offering immediate assistance to those facing extreme trauma.
HaGal Sheli Statement of Hope
As soon as circumstances permit, in alignment with Home Front Command guidelines, HaGal Sheli will steadfastly remain an anchor of stability and hope for our youth. Our dedication to the long-term well-being of at-risk youth is unwavering.
