2. Dear Volunteer, Welcome to your Special Presentation about your trip
―Back To The kibbutz Reunion‖. In this presentation you will have the
chance to experience all your senses:
What are your senses?
The five senses are: taste, hearing ,seeing, feeling and smelling.
A picture is worth more than a thousand words. As you go through the
slides there are plenty of links where you can click on and chose which
pictures you would like to see, including there are videos of a variety of
choices, not forgetting all the explanations which come with the pictures.
The greatest part of this unique presentation is that your sixth sense
comes out when you meet your old friends. The atmosphere will be so
awesome and exciting filled with emotion as there is so much to share.
We wish you a pleasant stay here and will see you at the ―Kibbutz
Gathering‖ on Kibbutz Tzora on the 18th at 20:30 (Entrance is Free)
