A Smile of a Child Foundation Expands Reach in Latin America

​Aventura, FL, USA, February 18th 2018 - A Smile of a Child Foundation announced today its plans to expand fundraising efforts in Mexico to increase sponsorships of Bar/Bat Mitzvah for the number of orphaned children residing in Israel and build a stronger bond between Jewish children in both countries.

A Smile of a Child Foundation sponsors Bar/Bat Mitzvot of orphaned children in Israel so they can celebrate one of the most important milestones in Jewish life.

Earlier this month, recently appointed Managing Director, Ivan Warman and Founder, Sam Hershberg, visited the Mexican capital to meet with several key community leaders, including the director of the Colegio Hebreo Sefaradi, one of Mexico City’s Jewish day schools. They proposed the establishment of a program that matches soon-to-be Bar/Bat Mitzvah children in the school with orphaned children of the same age in Israel. Each Mexican family will sponsor one Bar/Bat Mitzvah child in Israel and the two boys/girls will establish a study-buddy relationship throughout the year leading up to the Bar/Bat Mitzvah. The program will begin to roll out later this year pairing up children in 6th and 7th grade.

As part of the foundation’s plans to expand in Latin America, it has appointed a new regional director for Mexico, Mrs. Vivi Viskin. Additionally, Mr. Marcos Meta and Nathan Feldman has been appointed as Board Member. Plans for other countries are underway and will be announced at a later date.
