They don’t just perform – they move hearts, break stigmas, and bring people together through music.
This new video captures their inspiring journey, their message of inclusion, and the powerful role of art in giving voice to those who are too often unheard.

We planned a graduation party with songs, hugs, and certificates for the excited children moving up to first grade. Even though we couldn’t gather in person, we didn’t give up on celebrating together. We met on Zoom—and our hearts were just as full.

🎶 We sang songs together in sign language
📖 We read a story that was written jointly by the Israel Elwyn residents and the kindergarten children
🎥 We said goodbye with a moving video summarizing a year of connection, learning, closeness, and growth.

This was a year in which our residents visited the kindergarten every week—sharing their life stories, explaining, playing, and laughing with the children. A year in which the children learned firsthand about disability, but even more so about abilities. A year in which we watched four- and five-year-olds learn to reach out, and speak proudly about the people in their lives who live with disabilities.

Even on Zoom, we felt just how real, deep, and meaningful this bond has become. And despite the physical distance, the farewell was warm, personal, and filled with love.

Gabi, who lives in one of our community apartments and participated in the project, shared this message with the children:
“Sweet kids, it was so much fun to meet you and visit your kindergarten. You always welcomed us so warmly, and we hope you’ll remember us and everything we learned together forever. Good luck in first grade! We’re so proud of you.”

A heartfelt thank you to our partners, dreamers, families, the dedicated kindergarten and Supported Living staff, our wonderful National Service volunteers—without whom none of this would have been possible—and above all, to the residents and the children, who made this project so unforgettable.

See you next year!
