The annual Gala evening held in Paris, for the benefit of the Negba Association, was undoubtedly exciting and special.

Nearly 300 friends of Negba honored us with their presence, in order to get to know the association better, support it and thus influence its activities for the benefit of the children and adolescents.

Pascal Grin, President of the association, and Eliav Geissmann, its Managing Director, presented the vision of the association and its objectives. They also explained the importance of the partnership between the school, the parents and the Negba management team in the success of the children.

We were happy to welcome Amir Haddad who revealed another facet of his talent. In the performance we watched, directed by Steeve Suissa, also present, Amir played the character of Alfred Nakache, a Jewish French swimmer, world swimming champion, survivor of the Holocaust. His difficult and moving story, from the rise of Nazism to the occupation of France by Germany, the deportation and murder of his wife and infant daughter, and the horrors of the concentration camps, and how, with the help of his swimming talent, he was able to survive, and later tell his inspiring story and his message of devotion to life.

At the end of such an exciting evening, we would like to thank all the dear donors, the members of the association, our friends in France and around the world, as well as all the partner organizations and communities who contributed to the success of this evening.

Thanks to you we exist, thanks to you we give, thanks to you we transform children’s lives into success stories.
