NY Consul General Event

05 March 10


Consul General of Israel in NY - Asaf Shariv and his family welcomed us into their home on February 24, 2010 for a very special "Friend-raising" event.

 We are very grateful to the Shariv family for their wonderful support of our efforts to raise awareness of our programs.Event in the Consul General's home

 

We have a long history with the Consul General's office - as they are responsible for the Shidduch between Noach Braun and Norman Leventhal our co-founders.  Noach had sought assistance from the Consul back in 1986 and they recommended that Noach speak with Norman.  The rest, as they say, is history.

 

One of our graduates - Moti Levy with his guide dog Sammy - was in attendance and did an outstanding job of discussing the importance of having a guide dog born, raised and trained in Israel.

Sponsor a puppy

Sponsor a future guide dog and help us to provide the love and support that is so crucial during the first year of a puppy’s life. The cost to raise a puppy is $1000, which includes all of their food, toys and immunizations. We see to it that the puppies are raised in a nurturing and enriched environment to prepare them for the important work that they will do. In less than two years, these amazing animals will make a profound difference in the life of someone who is visually impaired.
