I was a volunteer 1978 1979

Shalom Max and Baruch I came from England with a group from Project 67.
I was a fresh faced 19 year old first real time away for any long term .
I remember Max meeting the group at the Airport Ben Gurun Tel Aviv
I stayed as a volunteer on Matzuva for 1 year flew home and came back two weeks later for a further 3 months before heading off to tour Greece and europe .
When I first arrived I worked in the banana fields but ended up working with Smaul Nessher , Avi,Yossi Mikhal , cant remember the others in the Avocardo plantations .
From working the land to picking the fruits and driving the tractors and cherry pickers THANK YOU !!!
Are the Avocardo trees still there ? I helped plant many of them in fresh ground
What a truley fantastic time I had , Max you also took us volunteers on several trips showing us Israel.
One of the trips took us on a 5 hour walk into the Negeth desert to a Monastry it was whilst on this trip that I drank stagment water and ended up with a visit to the hospitol .
My experiance of life in a kibbutz has stayed with me all these years I hope other ex volunteers find this web site ...

Baruch cast your memory back to 1978 you took us to Tel Aviv to see a friendly football match against Isreal and Liverpool Football club I cant remember who won

Re: I was a volunteer 1978 1979

Hello. I was also a volunteer with Project 67. I arrived at Matzuva in January, 1979, and was met at Ben Gurion Airport by Max. I worked in the cotton factory, "baby bashing" in the bananas, and picking oranges and grapefruit. I have fantastic memories of my visit, and photos to prove it. I made some wonderful friends and visited many of them in Australia the following year. Love to anyone who remembers me!
