An MDA volunteer shares the ideals of the organization with kids in Uruguay
From time to time, the MDA Public Affairs unit receives emails from MDA volunteers working to spread the ideals of the MDA all around the world. This week, we received a very moving email and we thought you’d like to read it too:
“Hi, my name is Elroy Salman, and I’m an EMT at the MDA station in the city of Sderot. Currently, I’m on an year-long envoy mission in the Jewish community in Montevideo, Uruguay. As part of my duties, I teach the local youth important things about Israel, things they should know. One of the lessons I waited for the most was the lesson about the MDA. In my suitcase, I packed all the items of the MDA uniform that I had because I knew I’d be teaching the local youth about the MDA. The lesson was amazing and I was very moved by it. I wanted these people to see the strength and the importance of the MDA and how we, as the MDA, are prepared for any situation with great and unique professionalism. I have pictures from this lesson that the Jewish community posted on their Facebook page. I felt the need to share this experience with you.”
Kudos Elroy!
