The learning community is active 4 days a week at 16:00-21:00. There are social and educational activities for children and youth in the framework of the afternoon activities.
In the last years, we do not have a building for our community, so we manage a struggle. In Kasdor neighborhood there is only one building allocated to youth activity. The neighborhood school “Rabin” has been closed 3 years ago, and there are no other activities for children.
At May 2009, the community took a place in the struggle against the closing of Hosen Center. The center looks after 700 residents, out of them 500 kids, that needs a long time treatment and not only at an emergency. In the end of the struggle, the mayor, David Buskila, delivered that the center will not get closed till the end of 2010.
