galit1

Who is Galit Zamler and what are the Fields of Unity?

Today, we will be exploring the story of Ms. Galit Zamler, an entrepreneur who, along with hundreds of volunteers, is currently aiding local farmers in harvesting their crops. Galit is passionate about entrepreneurship, and she has created a curriculum to teach these skills to kids. This curriculum is being taught in dozens of schools all around the world in countries like Israel, the USA, and India. She is also the co-founder of Vickathon, an initiative that leads and organizes hackathons within Israel. In hackathons, students must work in teams to solve challenges creatively, develop business plans for their solutions, and pitch in front of a panel of judges. Through her work, Galit inspires the next generation of kids to be problem-solvers and leaders. 

Yet, the problem she is currently trying to solve doesn’t have much relation to her career. Instead, it arises from her sense of duty as an Israeli citizen and her entrepreneurial mindset where she saw a problem and decided to do something about itread the full story
