Maccabi Tel Aviv welcomed at Kiryat Shalom kids from the School for Football and Peace
Last Friday a very special event took place at the Maccabi Tel Aviv training ground Kiryat Shalom, as the club welcomed children from the School for Football and Peace, sponsored by the Peres Centre for Peace. The school is located at Kibbutz Dorot in Israel's North Negev Council near the Gazan border, and is attended by both Israeli and Palestinian children. Twenty-two of those children, all of primary school age, came for a visit to Kiryat Shalom and participated in a special practice with children from Maccabi Tel Aviv's Youth Division. Each of the children received a memento of their visit from the club: an MTA cap, an MTA sweat-band and an MTA keyring. The children, who have now returned to regular practices for the new school year, enjoyed their visit thoroughly, as did their parents, who joined them at Kiryat Shalom and expressed great appreciation to the club for their hospitality.
