Meir Hospital, Kfar Saba - Children's Department
SAVI's handicraft coordinator Ada Levy, supported by the ZIV Tzedakah Fund in the USA, conducted a handicraft workshop for children hospitalized at the Meir Hospital in Kfar Saba. The young children learned the benefits of the poking project, and had some calming and fun "time out" from their medical treatment and difficult surroundings. The children received gifts including handicraft kits, material and a SAVI doll made by the aged attending CLICK'S centers.
"SAVI" is an anagram for Sara and Victor Fonda, who founded the SAVI project in Israel more than 30 years ago, with the dream and vision to promote the therapeutic benefits of crafting as a "miracle drug" to reduce stress, calm the mind and soul.
