In addition to the usual reports of upcoming courses, activities, and news,
today's staff meeting was marked by an exciting moment as Noach presented Yoav Ortov
with his diploma certifying him as a guide dog mobility instructor. Yoav began his apprenticeship in May 2013 and later spent six months at the
Oregon Campus of Guide Dogs of America, where he learned many techniques and
methods that he shared with his colleagues upon his return. Yoav completed his final examinations of the
International Guide Dog Federation to complete his training. Upon receiving his diploma Yoav remarked,
"I can't think of any work more rewarding than what I am doing here." Congratulations to Yoav and success in his
future work with us!
The staff also said goodbye to Yaniv Ben David, a volunteer from Munich who
spent the past several weeks working in the kennels. Yaniv, who loves dogs, is the son of an
Israeli family who became acquainted with the center through his grandparents
who are acquainted with center graduate Gadi Yarkoni. We wish Yaniv best of
luck and hope to see him and other enthusiastic volunteers at the center in the
future.
