Magda
Housemother - with all her heart, each and every moment
Magda has been working at the Ebenezer Home since 2012, and three of those years as the house mother. Her daily tasks are very diverse, like those of a mother ... ;)
She makes sure, the residents are well off, their rooms are furnished according to their needs, and if they have specific needs, she goes and shops for them. Another part of her daily work is domestic economics. Every week Magda meets with the kitchen staff to plan the menu, taking into account the diets of the individual residents. Magda also is the first person to contact about laundry and house cleaning. In short: She oversees everything related to the domestic economy. During the year, she organizes various feast celebrations for the residents in the Ebenezer Home or the adjacent garden. Magda is also in regular contact with suppliers, compares prices, and orders food.
The ambience at Ebenezer is very friendly. It feels like a second home to her, and Magda enjoys being at Ebenezer. She explains, "In my daily work, I experience how God gives me the strength, wisdom, and joy to accomplish all tasks. He brought me here. For me it's a privilege to serve Him and the residents here, and it's incredibly fun for me. I want to work for Him with all my heart, each and every moment."
"(...) But even beyond serving in Ebenezer, my time in Israel has been beyond the most amazing and special time in my life."

"I like being volunteer here at the Ebenezer Home because I can use my skills in different places.
I have the opportunity to develop myself and learn a lot of new things."

WELCOME
From the beginning volunteers were an important part of the Ebenezer Home and a great help to us! We appreciate the humble heart of dedication and sacrifice, that many people from all over the world, bring to Israel to serve the elderly here in the home. Each individual task of volunteering is of equal importance and value!
If you are thinking of serving in the Ebenezer Home as a volunteer, please read the following instructions carefully.
