Warrakah, 88 years old told the team that he attended one of MASHAV's (Israel's Technical Assistance Program) first training program during 1963. The Minister mentioned that until this day his father praises MASHAV's work which thanks to its training program he was able to increase his earning which helped him pay for his children's education.

The relationship between Magen David Adom and the Kenyan Red Cross has started two years ago when Israeli medical staff provided courses on how to deal with mass catastrophes to their local peers.
