Roi Huber spoke about the opportunity to put a smile on the faces of the Drzue children, “It was a fun event and one that was very moving to be able to make them happy. The Druze population are going through a difficult time and it’s great that they are here with us. Anything that can make them happy is a blessing. As for me, it’s great to be on the team and it’s an honor to represent the country. We all try to always strive to do our best.”
