Robi Damelin

Robi Damelin lives in Tel Aviv. She immigrated from South Africa in 1967. Robi’s son, David, was killed by a sniper while on military reserve duty, in March 2002. David was 28 years old, and was studying for his Masters Degree in the Philosophy of Education at the Tel-Aviv University. He strongly believed that through education, he could make a difference in Israel.

After David’s death, Robi felt a burning need to do something to try and prevent other parents from experiencing the dreadful pain of losing a child. She closed her successful Public Relations firm to devote her entire time and energy to the Parents Circle
