Israel's Civil Defense Efforts
While the IDF defends Israel's outer borders, and the police force answers emergency calls inside Israel's borders, it is Israel's Mishmar civilian security volunteers who patrol many neighborhood borders from criminals & terrorists. Ramot, Israel's largest neighborhood, is located on Jerusalem's northern border and is exposed to terrorist assaults on all sides. Mishmar Ramot now seeks to raise $50,000 for 2 goals. First, these funds will be used to train 30 volunteers to attain a highly professional level of skill, by using a curriculum tailored to the Ramot's needs. Secondly, the funds will enable Mishmar to purchase rescue & security equipment, as well as overhead for headquarters where security activities are coordinated. The following videos vividly portray their work: Mishmar Video 1 (Hebrew); Mishmar Video 2; Mishmar Video 3 (Hebrew).
