AT The Beginning…

👉  Helping Hand Global Forum for Israel Founders first meeting

On August 20, 2007, the Helping Hand Coalition was founded by several organizations. These organizations include God’s Grace International (USA), Global Relief Network (Israel), Christians for Israel (Christen an der Seite Israels) (Germany), and GAiN (Global Aid Network) (Germany). The primary purpose was to support Holocaust survivors in need living in Israel.

On October 31, 2012, in Tel Aviv, a meeting was initiated by Dr. Andre Gasiorowski, the Chairman of Helping Hand Coalition. The meeting was held with the heads of eight Israeli public organizations. These organizations represent more than one hundred thousand Jews who survived and suffered during the Holocaust living in Israel. During this meeting, they decided to create a new international organization. This organization is called the Helping Hand Global Forum for Israel. Soon, many other Israeli and international organizations joined GLOBAL FORUM.
