As a result of the success of this wonderful educational, People to People project, there were 50 applicants from five cities (including one from East London) for the tour. However, we only had 27 slots for SA and 25 for Israel, due to budget restraints. The group from SA will arrive on August 4th for a pre-Poland seminar at Yad V'Shem and will be hosted by their counterparts in Beit Shemesh/Adulam. They depart for Poland on August 7th and return on 14th. This time, they will not spend the last weekend in Israel, but due to the security situation will return to SA the following day.

They will be accompanied by five Israeli and three South African teachers, a physician, two guides, two security officers, and a coordinator.

Strictly kosher food is brought from Israel. One of the guides, the "architect" of the programme will lead the delegation for the fourth time.
