Elizabeth and I went to Israel to begin a therapeutic riding program for the children of Israel, Jordan, and Palestine as well Israeli Arabs, Bedouins, and Druze children.
|
| It is our hope that we can raise sufficient funds through Jewish National Fund (JNF), to benefit some of the existing riding academies with the understanding that the funds will go to programs that fit very carefully laid out standards.
Among these standards is the need to bring in children of many nations that exist in that part of the world, therefore contributing to bring peace to this troubled area.
To get involved or make a donation, please contact Sherri Morr at JNF. She can be reached at 415-677-9600 or smorr@jnf.org

As someone who is a Jew as well as an avid Star Trek fan, I am so delighted and thankful that Mr. Shantner and his wife made this trip to Israel. His was of trying to bring together peoples from different countries is a wonderful effort. I hope it will succeed. It is not about politics. Its is about being a humanitarian and helping out the children of that area of the world. In Star Trek - Undiscivered Country and Star Trek Next Generation - episodes of Unification - we saw Ambassador Spock trying to bring the Federation together with the Klingons and the Romulan Empires. Some have called that "cowboy diplomacy". Spock needed to take into consideration of the needs of the many outweihign the needs of the few or one. So too, Mr. Shatner and wife have gone ahead and risked their lives to help out. We need to stop playing politics in that area of the world. We need to stop relying on people for our energy needs who are barely in the modern world. Our greed and interference with the cultures of the Middle East have made a very precarious situation even worse. Its seems we havent learned from the Starfleet Prime Directive of non interference with cultures which have not matured to wisdom. We have a lot to learn to.
I would like to bring to the attention of Mr. Shatner and Lizabeth about a Star Trek - Scifi fan club in Israel called Starbase 972. They have been around since the last 1990s. They have hundreds of members, an annual convention, as well as a web site. Their web site address is www.starbase972.com
Live Long and Prosper,

This is a wonderful initiative and I hope that it will work, with all my heart.
The world needs men and women of peace and generosity. I wish you all the best in your endeavour to bring the different peoples of the Middle East a bit closer together for the sake of their children.

What a wonderful thing you and Elizabeth have done for all those people! Not only is it important to help these children, but we must also bring them together for common goals that will help everyone in the long run. I applaud your efforts and hope that they reach their fullest potential. Keep up the wonderful humanitarian work! :D

Being a part of a stable has been a wonderful asset to my life and I hope it will be for these children. Horses don't negotiate over what they need and fulfilling their needs fulfills your own....Marilyn

Hi Bill and Elizabeth...God Bless you for what you are doing...Children are our hope in each generation, and it doesn't matter where they come from...Kindness shown can't help but be imprinted upon them...particularly those in need somehow.

I think that is great, seeing disabled children taking part in something they
see their able friends doing, not only helps them physically but emotionally -
I can't help with that but here in B.C.during May and June riders take part in
the "Wish Ride" they have pledge sheets and collect money for the "Make a Wish Foundation" which makes the wishes of seriously ill children come true ie: going to Disneyland etc. Our local small group raised $5,200 on May 28th and
had a good time doing it .
