My relationship to Ronen Foundation
The first time I heard of the foundation was in my high school studies at Thelma Yellin High School. Department Head Miri Zamir Kapsuto introduced my to Yafa and the foundation and I clearly remember that even then the foundation was supporting many artists of my age. Since then the foundation has supported me throughout my artistic development - from the end of high school through festivals in Europe and all the way to my studies in the US - and I am extremely grateful and appreciative for the support I recieved.
