What a graduation we had yesterday!
The graduation ceremony was a vibrant and enchanting affair, made even more memorable by the mesmerizing traditional dances performed by the talented interns. Each dance represented the rich cultural heritage of the interns' diverse backgrounds, and the atmosphere was electric with anticipation and admiration. Graceful twirls and elegant gestures transported the audience to distant lands, immersing them in the beauty of ancient traditions. The heartfelt applause and standing ovations that followed were a testament to the incredible dedication and hard work these interns had put into perfecting their performances, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of everyone present.

Thanks to all the people who took part in the graduation; Mrs. Tamar Yarden the Head of Internship in Agriculture Administration, MASHAV.
Mr. Arjun Ghimire first secretary, Nepal embassy in Israel.
Teachers, dancers, farmers, and of course the SNAC students.

Last week our students had a professional tour as part of their courses to the citrus orchard and water reclamation site as part of their studies. They learned how Israel state reused nearly 90 percent of its wastewater is recycled. That’s around four times higher than any other country in the world. It is a remarkable achievement and this benefits not only Israel. Israeli companies are helping save water around the world, from Africa to California to India.
