Each of the bases will normally
have 2 people that work to take care of the volunteers. They
provide the uniforms and housing, coordinate the work
assignments and help with making the weekend arrangements. They
speak Hebrew of course and a second language appropriate; to the
language of which ever volunteer group is there. Volunteers come
to serve from many different countries but, usually, those
speaking the same language will be kept together. The Hebrew
name for these coordinators is "Madrichot". The Madrichot are
regular Army soldiers whose job in the I.D.F. is to coordinate
the Volunteers. |
