KING DAVID SCHOOL PUPILS LEARN ABOUT MDA - JUNE 2010
King David School Grade 3 pupils visited the offices of Magen David
Adom Victoria to learn more about MDA.
MDA's Taube Mrocki spoke to them about MDA's life-saving work and
showed them photographs of the Bar/Bat Mitzvah Ambulance, the MDA helicopter,
MDA motorcycles and mules.
Impressed by what they saw, they began thinking
about how they, too, could contribute to a new Bar/Bat Mitzvah Ambulance
in the future and have their name on its doors.
