After my last trip it was very obvious I wanted to go back as soon as I could - and do Sar-El again. This time I will take my kids, 8 and 11, with me. My daughter cant wait until she is old enough to participate in Sar-El, but few more years to go! Ten years ago she was a baby, living in Israel for a while. Sure she can not remember it, but sees pictures and hear stories, she also has special interest in Israel which has been noticed by her school teacher as well.
First we are having one week holiday, staying in Yafo for few days and spend weekend in Jerusalem. I want them to see how Jerusalem is during Sabbath. When they are leaving back to Finland with my friend, I will meet other Sar-El volunteers at the airport.
This time I'm not having huge, heavy suitcase with me, filled with clothes and items I really dont need after all, medium size backpack will be just fine. Two long skirts, shorts, few t-shirts, one long sleeve shirt, underwear, sunglasses, camera. What else do I need, it is only four weeks! =)
