Give Kids The World & Simcha Layeladim Partner to Help Cancer Patients of 21 Israel Families
21 families from Israel landed in Orlando on Friday morning. After 17 hours of connecting flights, Simcha Layeladim/Kids vs. Cancer welcomed the wish families with music, balloons, a special cheer put on by local cheerleaders from Colonial High School, and, of course, big open arms. Translated from Hebrew, “Simcha Layeladim” means “happiness and joy for the children.” This is the 6th year this wish-granting group has brought children to the Village, and, with partnership through Simcha Layeladim and Give Kids The World (GKTW), there is nothing but endless happiness and joy for these wonderful children.
