We are proud to share with you a new video that tells the moving story of how WIZO’s Nir Ha’Emek Youth Village forever changed the course of Osama Abu-Afash ‘s life. A young Bedouin Arab from the Negev who was born blind, he was transformed from a hopeless and forsaken boy with no prospects for the future into a young man with intelligence, confidence and the ability to live independently and one day contribute to other people’s lives as a psychologist.

We hope you enjoy Osama’s and Nir Ha’Emek’s success story
