CASE STUDIES      


RESIDENTIAL SCHEMES

Name: Yaffa
Center: Beit Matti & Employment Day Center - Women

At 48, Yaffa is Ohel Sarah's oldest students. Yet although mature in age, her development level is similar to that of an eight year old.

When Yaffa arrived at Ohel Sarah she was apathetic, sad and lonely. However, the 180-degree turnaround was short in coming. Faced with the exciting challenges of working in the employment center and undertaking responsible tasks, a new Yaffa emerged. Soon afterwards, both her parents passed away and it was only natural that she join our group living accommodation program.

Today, it is difficult to imagine a sad Yaffa. Her happy disposition and cheery presence add vitality to the home and everyone loves her. She loves her kitchen duties and uses the vegetable cutting machine with perfect ease.

Never one to shirk duties, Yaffa is one of the most active members of the residential home. She ensures that things are running smoothly and is usually the first to complete her duties. Beit Matti is a true to home to Yaffa. She loves her role as ambassador and is always delighted to welcome guests and show them around.
