Future of ORT• It would be of such great benefit for South Africa if the

more advanced countries that have ORT schools in operation, share courses and material they have with others that don't.

• South Africa is viewed as a country where the Jewish population is largely taken care of. We have seen that ORT IC sponsorships are being used for other African countries however the largest and most influential Jewish population in Africa is from Southern Africa and ICT resources are lacking due to high costs.

• The World ORT accreditation is important for all of us and would benefit the ORT's around the world
