I was just surfing the net and found the website of Nachshon. What a wonderful surprise. I stayed almost a year at Nachshon from 1982 to 1983 and I often think back on the fantastic time I spent there. We worked, but sure we also had a lot of fun and met a whole lot of fantastic people - both volunteers and Kibbutz 'citizens'. Lots of thoughts and best wishes to all my 'lost' friends

Thanks for your mail... Such a nice surprise to gain contact to the Kibbutz again - and very pleased to learn that you are still running as a kibbutz. Do you still have volunteers? Actually through you website I already gained contact to one of the other volunteers from 1982 - Butch - which is really nice..

Well - what more can I tell you from 1982...

As already mentioned I stayed in Kibbutz Nachshon for almost one year - 1982-1983. I came together with a Danish friend - Ida - and I worked in various placed in the Kibbutz: The kitchen, the garden, the glass factory, the fields, etc. A very good learning experience and a lot of fun. Amazing how many nice people I met - some of them still very clear in my mind - especially the three very nice Israelian guys - Eran, Felix and Nir - The Danish volunteers Mariann, Anette, Knud, Morten, Mette and of course Ida, as well as the other volunteers Butch, George, David, Becky, Sonia, Raffi - and a lot of other nice people. We also did a lot of travelling in beautiful Israel - hitchhiking and on tours with our Isralean friends who could borrow a kibbutz car to take us around... Thanks for giving me a lifetime memory... Best wishes to all of you and hope to be able to revisit Israel and Kibbutz Nachshon one day.... Pia

I have included a PowerPoint with a few photos from 25 years ago and two from 06/07... Hope you can use some of them - If you have problems using the photos, please contact me again.

All the best wishes from Denmark to Israel
