Cheryl Unterslak, wife of the Durban and incoming P2K National Chairman, remained after the Steering Committee programmes to volunteer her services in Beit Shemesh. Cheryl was one of the teachers on the previous Holocaust tour and on the Teachers' Seminar in December 2001.

Cheryl, before training to be a teacher, qualified and worked as an architect and her skills made it possible for her to teach English and to paint, single handed, a magnificent mural on the walls of the new Science and Technology building in Beit Shemesh. She also painted murals in one of the Nursery Schools in Beit Shemesh.

The Mayor of Beit Shemesh, Mr. Dani Vaknin, said of Cheryl that she is a "n'shamah from South Africa".
