ooVoo Connects Kids in Israel

ooVoo is being used by kids in Israel in order to enable them to pass these difficult times in an easier way. More specifically, three bloggers (one from Tel Aviv and two from Ashkelon) have built a blog named www.joinMyLife.co.il in which kids post video messages and text about their feelings of what's going on, as well as getting support from kids that are not living close to the fighting. This blog got many visits and for 24 hours was posted on the Ynet front page (the #1 web site in Israel). We have donated 100 web cameras to this organization to help connect even more kids face-to-face to share their feelings and opinions.

In addition, ooVoo is working on a project with the army which will help wounded soldiers connect with their families over ooVoo when they can’t be together. It makes us feel good that we are doing something positive in this time.

We hope for a peaceful resolution soon and are saddened by the loss of life in Israel and Gaza.
