What is A.H.A.V.A?

 

A.H.A.V.A. – “English Learned in a Natural Method” – is the only non-profit organization in Israel dedicated solely to English literacy promotion among disadvantaged children, especially those living in geographically and socially peripheral areas of the country.

What does A.H.A.V.A. do?

A.H.A.V.A. was founded in 2000 by Gaila Cohen-Morrison, an experienced English teacher who was determined to provide affordable English education to marginalized communities.

A.H.A.V.A has developed a unique English literacy program for both native Hebrew and English speaking children. We provide effective English language instruction in Israel at a cost affordable to all socioeconomic levels. This goal is achieved via properly educated (and paid) teachers working in small 

 groups, with innovative and engaging educational materials.

 

In addition, A.H.A.V.A. builds libraries in schools in the Jerusalem area, and runs teacher training programs all over the country. Every year A.H.A.V.A. has a read-a-thon contest which encourages children to read and improve their English significantly.

 

Putting many years of experience together, A.H.A.V.A. has developed a unique reader for early readers of English as a foreign language, Reading Rocks!
