* Ms. Rachelle Goldberg from London visited GIOH during February to bring joy to GIOH’s girls. She gave a violin recital together with her accompanist Errol Hui on the piano. Rachelle studied violin, piano and composition at the Royal College of Music and has extensive experience with quartets and orchestras in England and overseas. She teaches in the music department of several schools and in the borough council music department.

Rachelle, her father and her late mother Sylvia are long-time supporters of our Home. Sylvia had once suggested that Rachelle give a concert to the girls. After Sylvia passed away last summer, Rachelle decided to make a concert at GIOH in her mother’s memory.

Hope you and the children have a health and happy holiday,

Shalom,

Don is also a charitable and giving man, so I know this donation would make him proud. The girls’ orphanage is a charity I give to whenever the opportunity allows and I’m proud to be a third generation contributor. My sister-in-law, Donna, has also donated with me. Our money could not be spent on a more appropriate gift. Go in peace and G-d bless.

Bertha was a woman who always thought of others and wanted to help any way she could. That possibly through her support and donations, someone’s life could be changed. The girl’s home was near and dear to her and she gave from the heart. I wanted to honor Bertha by donating in her memory.

May Bertha rest in peace and G-d bless you.

I am the Matriarch of a family of children and grandchildren. I am independent but have not forgotten even for a moment where I grew up.

For years I kept quiet and did not reveal to anyone where I grew up. Yet now I speak about this with my children and grandchildren. I want them to know about my past history and this is no longer a secret.

May your hard work be blessed and your endeavors be successful.

Sincerely,
