Swiss ambassador in Nes Ammim |
|
Nes Ammim has been honoured with a visit of the Swiss ambassador, Mr. Wolgang Amadeus Bruelhart.
The purpose of his visit was our 50 years of history and the Swiss orgins of this place. Nes Ammim offered him a tour & lecture, some talks with volunteers and a lunch. The ambassador seems to look mainly happy with the original Swiss bus and the Swiss flag at the entrance of Nes Ammim, that is still flapping in the wind.

Generous donation of Otto per Mille
Thanks to the support of the Otto Per Mille Fund of the Italian Waldensian Church, that makes the renovation of the Guesthouse-bathrooms possible. Finally they can be renovated! One of the guests called them 'retro' but that's at least a very positive approach of something that is really outdated.
The hotel and apartment section of Nes Ammim is essential for:
• the formal dialogue programs of the Center for Learning and Dialogue between Jews, Christians and Arabs in Israel, and also;
• for the dialogue with visitors, especially Jewish guests who esteem highly the kosher
kitchen and the conversation with the European volunteers, and;
• is moreover the prime source of own income to maintain the Nes Ammim village.
The renovation is part of the master plan renovation Guest House, including Youth Hostel, Apartment building, House of Prayer & Study, Kitchen & Dining Hall of the Guest House. |

Nes Ammim distributes the flyers for various communication acts, primarily for brand awareness. If you see opportunities to distribute them, don't forget to keep a pile with you! Please turn to the
