Livnot and Community

I have spent the last few years traveling for work, and throughout my travels I have helped communities all around the world. I’ve lived in countries for months at a time, not really sure what I was searching for, perhaps just the experience of living and being part of a different culture. This past year, I realized how important it was for me to give back to my own community, the community that has always been there for me whenever I needed them to be. I only had a couple of weeks off work to volunteer, and I knew that I wanted to be in Israel. So, after a couple of hours of searching online for the right program, I found Livnot. Even though I had never heard about Livnot, or met anyone that had ever been a participant, I had a feeling it was the right decision. I registered for the one week Northern Exposure program because it seemed to have the perfect balance of volunteering, nature hikes, and spirituality, so off I went. Today, I’m grateful I made the right decision because it has provided me with the community I have always dreamed of. I now know that no matter where I am in the world, I’ll always have a place to call home. My dream is for others to experience the kind of love, warmth and acceptance I experienced at Livnot, and to help create this for our community here in Toronto. – Sherry Malakhi (NE83)
