Annual Mission to Odessa

There is no better way to witness the life-saving work Tikva provides than to visit the children themselves. On this mission you will learn about our programs first-hand, and can then join us in our efforts to spread the word about the support Tikva offers to the Jewish children, families and elderly of Ukraine, and our significant need for further financial aid. For more information about our next mission, please contact a member of the Tikva staff. Info@tikvaodessa.org or call (917) 262-1818

Young Leadership Retreat & Fundraising Trip to Odessa

Spring 2011
We are currently recruiting a select group of 25 participants from North America and Western Europe to travel to Odessa in the Spring of 2010 to volunteer time with our children (who range in age from newborns to older teenagers). On this mission you will learn about our programs first-hand, and spread the word about the important work being done to aid Jewish children, elderly, and families in Ukraine and the need for further support.  To ensure the program's viability, and to make sure the cost and effort of organizing this trip are worthwhile, we must have commitments from at least 20 individuals to raise at least $5,000 each (for a total of $100,000) in order to proceed with the trip, which is being wholly underwritten by a corporate sponsor. Please tell friends, colleagues, former classmates and family members who may be interested in Tikva about this mission, as we encourage participation in groups. General information about Tikva is available by calling the New York office at 917.262.1818.  A draft itinerary, a registration form, and some ideas for fundraising are available upon request.
