Shalvata Psychiatric Hospital
SAVI'S handicraft coordinator Ada Levy, supported by the ZIV Tzedakah Fund in the USA, conducted a handicraft workshop for psychiatric patients at the Shalvata Psychiatric Hospital. Adults attending the inpatient and outpatient clinic participate in a variety of handicraft activities as well as vocational work. Ada Levy also succeeded in recruiting a new volunteer from the Shalvata Psychiatric Hospital to work on the SAVI cutting machine.
An additional handicraft workshop was held for volunteers from the National Social Security Department. The workshop with volunteers from Social Security may prove to be a new potential avenue of reaching the housebound on a national level.
