Wedding celebrations are a very exciting, special and joyful event for any young couple. But they also can be expensive and unaffordable.
Last year, I volunteered for the Mabrooc Project that promotes mutual responsibility and solidarity of the Israeli society through volunteering. The project is manned by students and enables young couples who have contributed to the community and state get help financing their wedding.
Wedding vendors provide their services free of charge (wedding venues, DJ’s, wedding dress designers, etc).
Moreover, the project recruits random students volunteers to staff (servers, bartenders, etc.) for the wedding event.. After the wedding, the couple joins the Mabrooc family and volunteer for future events, thus spreading the word of volunteerism.
For me, the Mabrooc project is a special organization that truly makes dreams come true. This is the place that embraces all of Israel society to meet, talk and work together for the same special reason.
Last year I volunteered for the Mabrooc project in Jerusalem and we produced six weddings for amazing couples. More than 400 people volunteers have been recruited.
The thing that I like about Mabrooc is that anything can happen! Mabrooc can become a magic cure that unites and connects Israel society. More than anything else, Mabrooc is an opportunity to do good and to meet incredible people that open their hearts for other people that they do not know.
