The last week of May 2010 (23.5-26.5) was filled with state sponsored and local festivities across the country, celebrating the work of “Alliance-KIAH” during the past 150 years. The highlight of it all was a special assembly of the Israeli Knesset. In honor of the occasion, a special delegation came to Israel with a total of 50 people that included the management of “Alliance” in France as well as friends of the organization from Morocco and the United States. Also taking part in the festivities were hundreds of graduates, all excited to reunite with their school friends and to see that the organization so meaningful to them, continues still to lead a change through education.
The week was kicked off with a special honorary ceremony given by the Municipality of Ashdod that also hosted a reunion of “Alliance” graduates from Morocco. During the ceremony, the Mayor of Ashdod, Dr. Yehiel Lasry, dedicated a town square to “Alliance”.
