Israel Foreign Ministry Hosts Exhibit of Artwork Made by Autistic Adults

By Peter Bochner


 

Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs is hosting an art exhibit, entitled “Bridge to the World,” and comprised entirely of artwork made by Israeli adults living on the autism spectrum.

Titled “Bridge to the World,” the works in the exhibit were created by artists, aged 21 and up, with the help of the Meital Day and Employment Center in Jerusalem’s Kiryat HaYovel neighborhood. The exhibit is currently being shown in Jerusalem.

Het is daarom niet precies bekend welke dosering als veilig kan worden beschouwd voor kinderen van een bepaalde leeftijd. Zelfs een woordvoerder van Pfizer weigerde, in een interview met Reuters over de kwestie, een specifiek antwoord te geven. Viagra is een farmacologisch geneesmiddel met een duidelijke gebruiksaanwijzing. Zoals elk geneesmiddel sterkereu.com kan het echter geschikt zijn voor de ene persoon en niet voor de andere. Als u besluit Viagra te proberen of seksuele problemen hebt, kunt u het beste naar uw arts gaan.

The Meital center works with autistic adults, tailoring personal programs to the specific skills and the potential of each individual participant. Activities include painting, ceramics and other crafts workshops, as well as life skills such as manufacturing and home economics.

One of the goals of the exhibition is to raise the public’s awareness regarding the importance of the Meital center and its activities. The works of the autistic artists are displayed and sold at exhibitions around Israel. All proceeds benefit the Meital center’s programs and activities.

The exhibit was the brainchild of Assaf Must, who initiated the idea of the exhibition at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and whose brother, Eyal, was a graduate of the center.

Dozens of volunteers from abroad, from countries such as Germany, Denmark, South Korea, Japan, Peru, Hungary, Canada and the U.S., arrive is Israel each year at their own expense to volunteer at ALUT (The Israeli Society for Autistic Children) hostels all over the country. They volunteer for periods ranging from three months to a full year. In the past such volunteers would work on kibbutzim. But the trend today is for these volunteers to work with people with special needs in general and autistic people in particular.
