Mission Statement
American Friends of Jordan River Village supports the work of Jordan River Village in Israel, the only free, overnight camp in the Middle East for kids living with serious medical conditions and disabilities.
Description
Inspired by the legendary actor Paul Newman and founded by Chaim Topol and the late Murray & Marilyn Grant, Jordan River Village is Israel’s only free, medically-safe, camp for all children living with serious medical conditions. Since opening nearly 10 years ago, the Village has changed the lives of more than 20,000 children of every background, religion, ethnicity, and physical limitation. The Village offers on-campus sessions and off-campus programs-all provided with the full support of our medical team. In addition, the Village has an incredible ripple effect, our programs change children’s lives, strengthens families, empowers communities, and enhances Israel. And as part of Paul Newman’s worldwide SeriousFun Children’s Network we are collectively impacting the lives of millions of children living with serious medical conditions.
