Here is an example of what your contributions and partnerships make possible at AKIM!

AKIM Israel’s Sports Department operates sports services for people with developmental disabilities and protects their rights to enjoy quality sports services in the community and in out-of-home housing. AKIM is planning to set up long-term projects of rehabilitation programs involving movement and sports, such as horseback riding, aquatics, hydrotherapy, movement, and martial arts.

Canadian Friends of AKIM would like to wish all of those celebrating a wonderful Hanukkah spent with your loved ones! http://akimcanada.org/

AKIM provides opportunities for people who have an intellectual disability and have artistic gifts to express their talents! You can read about Taga Tazazu's experience with art classes through AKIM here: http://akimcanada.org/akim-success-stories/

DID YOU KNOW? AKIM coordinates a free national hotline in Israel in Hebrew and Arabic, (1-800-399-333), staffed by parents of sons and daughters who have an intellectual disability and who have undergone counseling training. The hotline provides every caller with warm emotional support, advice from personal experience, and information and referrals to appropriate professionals and organizations. #parentsforparents #support
