After defeating Hapoel Raanana last night at Bloomfield Stadium, the Yellow-and-Blue players arrived at Kiryat Shalom for a light training session. However, just before practice, they met with children from the local branch of “Educating for Excellence” for a unique encounter.
The Senior Team gave out backpacks from the WINNER League, took pictures with the children on the Kiryat Shalom pitch and of course signed autographs on shirts, hats, mobile phones and anything else they had with them.
“Educating for Excellence” was founded in 1999 and operates 37 programs throughout the country. More than 2,000 youth participate in the organization’s programs while 600 students receive scholarships who act as positive role models for the children. The group comes to Kiryat Shalom once every two weeks to take part in activities with the Maccabi Tel Aviv’s Youth Department.
