THOUSANDS OF NEW YORK CHLIDREN SAFER - THANKS TO MAGENU

Brooklyn, NY - April 2013

It's been only ten months since Magenu, the Children's Safety organization, was launched by a proactive Brooklyn couple determined to protect Jewish children through education. Since then, 2,126 children, 374 teachers, and 879 parents in 106 Brooklyn classrooms have been educated by the Magenu "Be Safe!" program-becoming empowered with essential safety tools.

"Every child has the right to explore the world without being worried about personal safety," asserts Magenu's Director, Dr. Shani Verschleiser, AuD, LMSW, who founded the organization along with her husband Eli Verschleiser. "And it is the responsibility of every community to ensure that right."
