Some of our past events:

Maror מרור Art Exhibit:
Over the course of Passover 2009 (March 24th-April 6th, 2009) 4Asylum exhibited artwork of and by asylum seekers. Partnering with Bet Hillel of Hebrew University, Eshkol B'Givaa and the Jerusalem Municipality, the exhibit was shown throughout Jerusalem and Israel, including at the Bezalel Art School, Bet Jerar Bachar and Ben Gurion University. At each opening, a number of refugees came to speak and answer questions. Photographs were taken at the border with Egypt, in Darfur and in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The exhibit appeared in major television and news networks around the country, and helped make the wars in the DRC and South Sudan common knowledge. See some photographs from the exhibit.
The teachers and students celebrated a years worth of English learning at the end of the 2009 academic year. See more photographs.
Volunteers Will and Adrienne with Prof. Bauer
On March 20th, 2009 we visited Yad V'shem with asylum seekers, long-term volunteers and students, a visit sponsored by Bet Hillel, Eshkol B'Givaa and the Jerusalem Municipality. Prof. Yehuda Bauer kindly took the time to speak to us about the the Holocaust, the current ongoing genocide in Darfur, and our responsibility towards refugees today. His words were very powerful, and left an inspiring message to all of us to continue our work. For more photographs, click here.
