Dear friends and partners,

Since our last meeting, we have been facing a very tough year in the security field. Despite this, we tried to do our best in order to continue working so as to promote our common partnership and joint activities. We succeeded in expanding the activity of Living Bridge and we hope that in the next years to come we will manage to construct and create additional and varied bonds together.

Today, at New Year's Eve, it is my pleasure to wish all our partners in Mexico and in North-Eastern New York, a blessed and sweet year, a year of happiness, love, good health, joy and prosperous joint activities.

This New Year's Eve, I feel pride in thanking my dearest Steering Committee members in Eshkol, for a great year, a year blessed with open-hearted doing. Thank you for your dedication and for your love of voluntarism and community work, and for your commitment and appreciation for the importance of the bonds with the partner communities.

A great years' greeting and deep thanks is dedicated to my great team, which accompanies us every day on every step we take, Tal Klamer - Living Bridge Coordinator and Edith Asor - Partnerships Operational Coordinator.

May the forthcoming year be a year of security to us all.
Wishing you a Happy New Year, may you be signed and sealed in the book of life.
Sincerely,

Ravit Ochayon Michal, Partnerships Director
