Community Manager, Kibbutz Or-Haner
Kibbutz Or-Haner is
located at the North Of the Negev area, western to Gaza
strip, 6 kilometers. North of Sderot.
The kibbutz was founded in
1957 and established by a
youth group of South American (mostly from Argentina &
Uruguay) immigrants, which followed Ben-Gurion`s (the first
Israeli prime minister) appeal to Youths to revive the Israeli
desert.
There are 142 kibbutz members (of a total population of 400
people) of which, 71 are children and 41 “kibbutz sons” in
different courses, parents of members, temporary lodgers and
students.
