Out of the north good shall come The truth is that I had a very hard time persuading Benny Katzav to talk about the wonderful initiative he had set in motion and led, but in the end I succeeded, and this is his story. "During the war in the north I sat at home and thought how I, Benny Katzav of Kfar Yona, could do something to help the residents on the front line a little. I wanted to enlist my friends, the employees of Maabarot Products, in the assignment. I thought that to help them contribute more generously I would ask them to give up days of leave, which would be converted into money, and it worked! I went through the entire plant, and 72 of the employees on the packaging lines, in production, the lab, the warehouses, maintenance, the offices, up to the CEO, together donated 104 days of leave, which turned into the amazing sum of NIS 41,000! This money is now being used to buy playground equipment that will be installed in two kindergartens in Kiryat Shemona, 3 television sets and a projector and screen that will be donated to the Savyonim high school in Ma'alot. We are also planning a donation to the soldiers of the armored corps unit in which the late Adam Goren of Maabarot, who fell in Lebanon, served." Benny added that he was being helped in the endeavor by Meir Peretz and Sara Schwartzberger, and he would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who cooperated and made a donation. Once again, you have proved that the sentence, "So what can one do? Do!" is simply true. The idea, the initiative and the act itself is moving and truly warms the heart! It is nice to know that we work in a place with people like these! Keep up the good work! Shimon Berkowitz
