"Bursting the Bubble"<br />

Bursting the Bubble is a project that <strong>IDC</strong><br />

<strong>Herzliya</strong> students initiated to raise awareness<br />

to the difficulties that residents of Sderot and<br />

the areas within firing range of Gaza face,<br />

while living under the ongoing threat of Qassam<br />

rocket attacks, and to help them. As part of<br />

the project, which is coordinated by student<br />

volunteers, students encourage and promote<br />

initiatives in which <strong>IDC</strong> <strong>Herzliya</strong>’s different<br />

research institutes and schools cooperate<br />

with residents of Sderot and the western Negev<br />

efficiently and productively. The project’s initial<br />

activities included a three-day fair to raise<br />

awareness, that was held in April 2008. The<br />

fair’s impressive achievements included<br />

recruiting additional students to participate in<br />

the project. The project provides students<br />

with a platform to use the knowledge and<br />

skills they obtain in their studies at <strong>IDC</strong><br />

<strong>Herzliya</strong> to provide assistance that will truly<br />

fill the needs of western Negev residents, who<br />

have sustained physical and emotional injuries<br />

from the Qassam rockets’ reign of terror.<br />
