MDA salutes Nepalese students in Israel

Five Nepalese students studying in Israel were given certificates of appreciation by Magen David Adom chairman Eli Bin. The five represent dozens of students who worked to help their families and friends in the earthquake-stricken country.

One of the students represents a group of 29 Nepalese students who were trained by Magen David Adom in administering first aid to victims of earthquakes. The students are returning to their home country and will be able to implement what they learned in the course in Israel when they assist the local population. The representative received diplomas of recognition as well as first-aid kits for each of the students who took part in the course.

The four other students attend the Weizmann Institute and the Faculty of Agriculture in Rehovot. Upon learning of the tragedy that hit Nepal they independently decided to raise money in order to help fund Magen David Adom’s assistance efforts in Nepal.
