Join the movement
GUEST SPEAKER:
Amy Bondar
Amy is passionate about helping people nourish body, mind, and soul — and ultimately transform their relationship with food, body, and self.
SELF-DEFENCE INSTRUCTOR:
Sam Karl
Sam Karl discovered that true strength isn’t built in comfort — it’s forged through resilience. What began as her personal journey to heal, grow, and regain confidence has evolved into a powerful mission to help others do the same.
Today, SamKarlFitness represents empowerment and transformation, reminding individuals that no matter what life brings, they can rise stronger, more confident, and more in control.
Through movement, mindset, and mentorship, Sam helps people redefine their limits and reclaim their power — one workout, one breakthrough, one day at a time.

IN SUPPORT OF EDEN ASSOCIATION
Founded in 1997, Eden Association is in the heart of the peripheral communities of the Gaza Envelope* and the Negev settlements with the mission to develop and establish innovative programs for the treatment of girls and women dealing with post-trauma and complex post-trauma. Since October 7, there has been an urgent need for therapeutic support for women.
Untreated trauma worsens over time, affecting mental and physical health, daily life, and relationships. For women, the impact extends to their families, communities, and Israel’s social resilience. With support from CHW, they are expanding their Trauma Therapy Center to prevent long-term suffering, restore hope, and build a healthier future.
If we exceed our goals for a project commitment, due to donor generosity, we reserve the right to reallocate the additional funds raised to other funding commitments in Israel or Canada.
