My Name is Israel

An online exhibition exploring Israel’s humanitarian aid worldwide

When Audrin Antigua, a Filipina in Bogo City, gave birth to a baby boy in a field hospital set up by the Israel Defense Forces, she named her son Israel as a thank you to the Israeli people.

It was November 2013, and the Philippines had just been devastated by the deadly category 5 storm Typhoon Haiyan, leaving 6,300 dead and four million homeless. The IDF rushed to help, arriving almost first on the scene. Several other Israeli aid organizations also flew over to help.

Since its founding just 68 years ago, Israel has sent aid to 140 countries, helping people on virtually every continent with medical, psychological, educational and environmental relief.

To celebrate the devotion and accomplishments of Israeli aid workers, and as the second in our series of DIY exhibitions for readers and users, ISRAEL21c has created a remarkable and inspiring online exhibition exploring the many facets of this aid.

My Name is Israel can be downloaded by anyone and used anytime by your organization, school or publication - anywhere you want people to know more about Israel.

In our 15 full-color slides, we bring you heartwarming stories of how Israelis have helped in the wake of some of the world’s worst disasters, sharing knowledge and expertise in anything from search and rescue to water management, agriculture and security.

Brought together for the first time, the stories in this exhibition offer an exciting and moving account of how Israelis of every religion take the Jewish concept of tikkun olam, repairing the world, and apply it literally to help people everywhere.

To use the exhibition, you can:

• download, print and post it in any location, either displayed onsite or online


• enlarge the images on foam core board for display on easels or in display cases


• present it online using a tablet, computer, smart TV or other video device

Each of the slides includes textual information about the area of aid and QR links to significant further reading material that can help viewers gain a detailed picture of how Israel is helping the world.

You may use any part of the exhibition you want, and we also offer you the chance to co-brand the exhibition.

We’d love to hear your stories and see the photographs of the events you run using the My Name is Israel exhibition.
