American Friends of First Hug (Hibbuk Rishon in Hebrew) uses this English/Hebrew video to solicit donations to support its efforts to meet the non-medical needs of babies no one wants. Doctors, founders and volunteers describe how this private, non-profit agency uses physical touch and human contact to nurture infants abandoned in Israeli hospitals. The tiny group seeks donations to hire professional social workers to support its vital mission.
