FIDF Michael ZemelmanSummer 2014

Dear friends of Russian Jewish Community Foundation,

First, I want to thank you so much for the assistance you give me funding my B.A studies in business administration majoring in accounting.
It's been six months already since my last letter to you, and much have happened during this period of time.

This December, I will finish my accounting studies. The studies were hard but I enjoyed every minute and now I'm ready to go out into the world of accounting. Meanwhile I continue to do my internship I started in January at KPMG Israel.

I've really enjoyed my time volunteering in the "LATET" organization. This year is my fourth year of volunteering. Every week I visit two Holocaust survivors, we formed a very special relationship, I feel that I added another two grandmothers to my family and on the other hand they feel that they added another grandchild. Every week I get to them and help them with everything they ask me.

This is my last letter to you because my scholarship ends at the end of the year and I hope to hear back from you, I really want to stay in touch with you. My email and my phone are written below.

I hope that your families and community are doing well, and that you are having a good and healthy year so far.

Sincerely yours,
Michael Zemelman
