The Israeli Diamond Exchange (IDE) on December 23 is carrying out an action aimed at raising funds for the benefit of the Israel Foundation for Handicapped Children (ILAN). The event will be held in the IDE complex in Ramat-Gan, according to a press release received by Rough & Polished.
The action, organized on the territory of the IDE, coincides with the nationwide ILAN fund-raising campaign, in which, with the assistance of the Israeli Ministry of Education, about ten thousand schoolchildren will go to their homes to collect donations for the oldest charitable organization.
"We started cooperation with ILAN last year, and the board of directors and IDE members are happy to continue working with this important charity," said IDE President Shmuel Schnitzer. "Although the contribution of the diamond industry to the Israeli economy is very significant, I believe that such a prominent industry as ours should also set an example of corporate and social responsibility.
