Each year legacies to Magen David Adom are directly responsible for saving the lives of thousands of people in Israel. How better to showcase the work these legacies enable, than to see it in person?
There are few organisations in Israel that invest as much in the future generations as Magen David Adom. Whether it be through volunteer programmes or youth training, MDA firmly has one eye on tomorrow. In the UK, things are no different and we look to engage and inspire the next cohort of Lifesavers.
Magen David Adom UK hosted a dinner with Shai Abramson, the world renowned Chief Cantor, the Chief Cantor of the Israel Defence Forces and an MDA volunteer medic.
Gisela Martin was a housekeeper who died with a modest estate. Little did she know that her former employer, the late Harry Fuld Jr – an industrialist who lost everything to the Nazis – had left her a collection of art and sculptures. By the time Fuld’s gift to his former employee was discovered, both were long gone. However, the Fuld estate passed to Martin and this became her estate.
Magen David Adom is Israel’s largest volunteer organisation and as anyone involved will testify, being part of MDA is like being part of one big family. The same is true here in the UK where our supporters do so much to raise funds up and down the country.
In May of this year, the Redeemed Christian Church of God, based in Lagos, Nigeria, returned to Israel for the first time since before the Covid-19 pandemic. The General Overseer, Pastor E.A. Adeboye, commissioned the church’s third donation to MDA, this time the gift of two ambulances.
