Re: pic: Visiting Israel's president

Good job Miscar!
I think FIRST Israel is finally starting to get the recognition in deserves.

The program that was initiated by president Peres and Microsoft looks very promising (even though I am skeptical at this point). Hopefully things will start moving now that there is funding from a huge corporation like Microsoft, rather than the government and ministry of education which are affected by foolish political decisions and greedy individuals who prevented programs like FIRST from getting funding in previous years.

I hope the Israeli teams aren't affected too badly by the ongoing strike in the Israeli high schools and universities. This is a huge issue and I hope it will be resolved soon, otherwise we may see programs like this and others disappear.
