Message from Robert Singer - Director General & CEO, World ORT


Dear Friends,

In this, the 130th year since the founding of ORT, it gives us great pleasure to send greetings to ORT Argentina.

From the outset, ORT gave itself the mission to provide its beneficiaries with the skills and knowledge that would enable them to become self-reliant and independent, living their lives with dignity.

Since 1880, that mission has remained intact in the face of numerous challenges, helping individuals and communities to overcome poverty and deprivation and to begin to experience hope and the prospect of a brighter future.

As we look back we have countless achievements to be proud of. ORT Argentina has always been one of the jewels in the World ORT crown and we are continuously grateful for your efficiency, professionalism, innovation and the wonderful education you provide to so many Jewish students in Argentina.

In honour of ORT’s 130th year, a declaration was created, containing the lines “Truly, we have seen the fulfilment of the hope expressed in the final lines of the founding document: “May God's blessing grace the work we have begun.” May we all continue the fulfilment of this hope for another 130 years and through your ongoing support continue to ameliorate the lives of all our beneficiaries.
