Club to Dedicate renovated music room at School for the Deaf

Rotary Music Room Dedication Ceremony April 27

On Monday April 27 our Club will be participating in the dedication ceremony of the Rotary Music Room in the Jerusalem School for the Deaf, located on Borochov St. in Kiryat Hayovel.

The Music Room was fully equipped, including an acoustic floor, by a Matching Grant project which included the participation of The Rotary International Foundation, the Sao Paulo West and the Istanbul Karakoy Rotary Clubs, as well as the Aaron Beare Foundation, located in Durban, South Africa. Our Club was the initiator of the project and also contributed its share to the $33,000 total investment.

The School for the Deaf caters to some 100 hearing impaired children, many of them with additional disabilities. Its population, both students and staff, is multi-ethnic, comprising both Jews and Arabs.

The implementation of the project has just been completed and the dedication ceremony will be attended by representatives of the Brazilian Club, our own District Governor, Yael Lazarus, and Jerusalem Mayor, Nir Barkatt (still to be confirmed).
