The Friendship Caravan

2009.06.02
Very early this morning international visitors arrived to setup a very special day for all of us at Somers Intermediate School.

The Tzofim Friendship Caravan is a traveling group of five male and five female 17-year-old Israel Scouts. They travel across North America each summer as emissaries, sharing their lives through song, dance and story. The Tzofim also share their personal stories and dreams with an audience and their message is secular and non-political.

They visited all of our fifth grade classrooms for a cultural exchange conversation.



They then performed an amazing celebration of song, dance, and storytelling for our entire school.








The got all eight hundred and fifty of our students up on their feet, dancing with the biggest smiles!



Our students are fortunate to have the chance to increase their global awareness and cultural understanding through this experience.

And I was very proud to accept their DVD and an official kerchief on behalf of our school!
