Overall Experience
This experience was very rewarding and eye opening.

I have een involved with MOW for approx. 3 years.y children ad I deliver 1 Sunday / month. Weoriginally delivered in the City from Prince St, now we deliver from the Jewish Home. This began as an outreach (Gam Chai) program initiated by their school for grades 4 and up.It has been quite an eye opener for my children, who have seen how difficult some poeples lives can be. They know they are truly Blessed in this life.
