The program includes various excursions, workshops and other activities that help students make friends and integrate into sighted schools and communities.
According to JIB, the program provides “essential support” for the visually impaired, which helped one of the students struggling with financial and family circumstances at home to achieve her skills as a goalball player.
Two other visually impaired athletes affiliated with Beit HaLochem Tel Aviv, a sports rehabilitation center, Ori Mizrahi and Noa Malka, are also part of the Paralympic team.
They joined the Jerusalem Institute for the Blind while participating in sports camps at school. In addition to goalball, these camps involve sports such as sailing, tandem biking, etc.
