The once dark and gloomy walls in the corridor of Hadassah Hospital Ein-Kerem’s Pediatrics Department have undergone a complete “face lift,” thanks to the generosity of Artist Ilan Shaul, who brightened them with vivid wall paintings.
"It was my honor and pleasure to take part in this project," comments Mr. Shaul. “This space is used by very special
people--the children. For us, who worked on the project, it is now a unique memory."
The idea for this project came from Esti Katz, who is in charge of Patient and Family Welfare at Hadassah. Sami Alcalay, Director of Special Projects at Hadassah, recruited the artist and secured the donation of paint by Tambur Painting. The employees of Hadassah’s construction and maintenance division, as well as Hadassah volunteers, helped to bring the walls to life.
