A Student Writes…

Dear All,
Now that I have completed my journey of studies, I stand at the opening of the new era I wished for.
Now I can solemnly say that my achievements, my personal fulfillment, and reaching my starting point could not have been done without the ISEF Foundation.
 In this humble mail, I wish to thank you – the ISEF Foundation and all its emissaries. 
Your work is sacred. It is so much more than just a scholarship or people I could turn to for help – it is the essence of a true mission!
 The warmth, the personal attention, the devoted treatment, the sympathetic ear that was always there, the never-ending availability during work hours and after, are all truly unique. 
 Thank you for everything. I wish you all continued joy in your work — and I hope that the number of students who benefit from you will grow.
 With much love and appreciation,
Elisar F.
