TESTIMONIALS

Twelve & Thirteen is a unique program that give batmitzvah girls and barmitzvah boys and their families the opportunity to embark on a year long journey of giving and kindness.

“Being in the Twelve program has made me want to be an adult that gives back to the community and helps out! The thing that I have learnt is that there is always time to help.

Gemma
“I will be more grateful from now on now that I know how other children spend their days much differently than how I usually do. I am really grateful for the community that I live in and I feel that everyone should feel this too.

Romy
“The 13 session I gained the most out of was Make A Wish. I helped grant a sick child a wish to make them feel better. I learnt that if you help someone it helps them and at the same time it feels good.  After the session, I felt good that I helped a sick child.  The 13 program taught me how lucky I am.

Sharing the privilege of giving with no need or expectation of receiving anything in return as well as meeting and making contact with people we've never before met in the context of giving/kindness.

“Sophia & Amanda

A very special, different experience. Sport is the global equalizer for human beings, young or old. Fans or players. Just to let go of everything in your lives for 2 hours and have fun playing sport together, with no judgement on race or colour. We were all even for those 2 hours.
