Ski companies are still looking for staff to feed, instruct, entertain and clean up after their clients. We also have vacancies, from English language schools, voluntary organisations, au pair agencies and gap year companies, located as far away as the Australian outback, the Arctic snows and the South American jungle.

ISRAEL VOLUNTARY
BRIDGE IN BRITAIN 2001 (January-July 2001) 
The Bridge scheme was first launched in 1961 and annual parties have travelled out to Israel since then. Among the hundreds of school-leavers who have taken part in Bridge, we are proud to include personalities as disparate as Anna Ford of BBC TV; Gerald Corbett, Chief Exec. of Railtrack; Minette Walters, the crime writer; Ian Black, Diplomatic Editor of The Guardian and Elisabeth Hoodless, Chief Exec. of Community Service Volunteers.

Bridge 2001 will run from approx. mid-January to July 2001. The schedule will include several segments: a working place on a kibbutz (collective farm); two months community service in a development town/Israeli new town; work in a northern Israeli moshav (smallholders' co-operative); contact with the many communities constituting modern Israel including Jews - religious and secular, Sabra Israelis and immigrants from Russia, Ethiopia and other places, some of the 35 Christian denominations, Moslems and members of the varied Arab communities in Israel; seminars and organised tours; free time to explore Jordan and Egypt; experience of an archaeological dig - an optional extra - at the participant's expense.

The application procedure is very simple. All applicants are expected to submit: 1. An essay, minimum 400 words, explaining reasons for wishing to spend time in Israel. This must be accompanied by 2. A hand-written covering letter. 3. A curriculum vitae including date of birth, address, home telephone number, religion, academic achievements, interests and future plans. 4. Two passport-size photos. 5. Two references - one academic, one personal. Your written submission should be with us by July 1 2000. Thereafter, we will shortlist several dozen applicants for interview. These interviews will be conducted in mid-to-late July at our office which is situated in North West London. If you are chosen for the programme, you will receive a telephone call and a letter of invitation near to the end of August 2000. The award winning party, a group of up to 12 participants, will then leave for Israel in January 2001. Throughout the period in Israel the group will have the informal back-up of specialist co-ordinators.

Just a few additional points: a. You must be 18 years of age, i.e. a legal adult, by the time of your departure for Israel. b. You must be in good physical and mental health. A medical certificate will be necessary if you are selected. c. We only offer places to British applicants or to individuals permanently resident in the UK. The Programme is of course open to everyone, irrespective of race, religious creed or sex. d. You do not need to speak Hebrew or Arabic, nor need you have a strong linguistic flair. e. BUT it is only worth applying if you have an enquiring disposition; are eager to explore "strange and exotic" parts of the world; and you understand fully that the programme will be quite demanding, presenting you with a series of challenging placements in Israel and the Arab world. f. Unlike many of the other top Gap placements where applicants have to raise a stake of many thousands of pounds, a Bridge place represents a heavily sponsored scholarship place in Israel. g. F.O.I.E.T. guarantees that any applicant shortlisted for interview - but unsuccessful - will be found an unsponsored place on kibbutz.
 
It will be good to hear further from you. John D A Levy, Friends of Israel Educational Trust, 25 Lyndale Avenue, London NW2 2QB. Tel: 020 7435 6803; fax: 020 7794 0291. Email: foiasg@foiasg.free-online.co.uk Website: www.foi-asg.org
