When new immigrant families arrive in Netanya, everything is new: the language, the shops, the buses and the schools. A group of twelfth graders from a local high school decided to help. They called their project "Welcome Bags".

Every bag has a map of the city, a list of important phone numbers and a small present from the students. The students also write a short letter in Hebrew, English and French. "We want the families to feel that somebody is waiting for them," says Shira, one of the students.

The students do not only give the bags. They visit each family during its first month in the city. They show the children the way to school and explain how to buy a bus card. "The parents always have questions," Shira says. "We don't know every answer, but we can always find someone who knows."

So far, the students have visited thirty families.
