	Rebecca Fajgenbaum Harlev \| Maccabi Tzair Coordinator Born and raised in Panama, Rebecca dedicated her time to working with youth. She founded a nonprofit movement called Proyecto Contigo, composed of high school-aged volunteers whose goal was to support education in low-income areas through chess and art lessons. She also volunteered at a daycare for children whose families had cancer and organized various fundraisers for both organizations. None of this would have been possible without the support of the Jewish community.
