“Without Tironut, I would not have had anyone to listen to my questions and concerns. Being alone abroad in a new country is a scary experience. When things went badly I would have been at a loss for what to do without the support that was offered to me. “

“Tironut took care of me in every part of camp. Days off, basic personal needs, and made my time at camp more enjoyable. When I needed it Tironut was my voice”.

“If it was not for Tironut, camp would not have been the same. Camp was a success for all the International staff because of Tironut and Stacey.”

“Tironut developed closed relationships with members of the staff in order to support them and earn their trust and respect”.

“Stacey helped me meet staff, make friends and get integrated. She made me feel safe and cared for because I knew I was never alone and would always have a place to go on a day off, for a hug or someone to talk to that woudn’t judge me”.

“ Stacey and Tironut gave all of us Israelis a home away from home and was like a mother to all of us”.

“ One cannot say enough about how phenomenal Tironut was in shaping my camp experience. It dealt with the issues that are often overlooked bycamps regarding the settling in period of international staff. It can’t be underestimated the feelings that international staff thousands of miles from home. Tironut bridged this gap and made us feel we were never alone”.

“Tironut relieved so much pressure in the sense of knowing where to turn in times of need. It felt like their was no boundaries to the help that Stacey or Tironut could provide. She always had solutions”.

“Stacey hosted the entire international team at her own home from the day tat we arrived in the United STates. She hosted us on our days off, prepared a big shabbat meal every Friday night that reminded us of home. She would provide us with anything that we were missing, really made us feel that we were part of the community and treated us like her own children. She made us feel like we belonged.

“My sense of belonging and inclusion at camp has massively been influenced as it helped direct me when I needed help. It has given me someone to turn to when I’m unsure and has really helped my confidence in myself”.

“ Tironut was welcoming and set a very high standard for my camp experience. They made camp feel like a home even before we arrived at camp. Stacey is a true mensch. She was the the only one who made us feel that we were comfortable, taken care of and important as individuals”.
