» Your help is needed in Havat Gilad!
— Havat Gilad (or the Gilad farm) was establish 5 years ago on privately owned land belonging to Moshe Zar, after the murder of his son Gilad nearby by Arab terrorists. Gilad Zar was the civilian security chief for the Jewish communities of Shomron.

Although the farm is located on the Zar family's private property, it has been considered an un-authorized outpost. As result of that classification all building, roads and infrastructure on the farm have been at the expense of its residents with no government aid.
Over the past five years the farm run by Ittai Zar (young son of Moshe Zar) has grown into a farming village with 15 families and 40 Yeshiva students. Ittai runs a prefab building company on site which employs many of the town's men.
In order to register the town's children in school in nearby Shavi Shomron, Mayor Mesika has successfully classified Havat Gilad as a neighborhood of that bigger town (about 15 minutes away). The Ministry of Education is now willing to bus the Havat Gilad children to school at Shavi Shomron.
The issue at point here is that the dirt roads in Havat Gilad are not accessible for the the school bus. The Ministry of Education will only give the final approval for the buses to enter Havat Gilad after some basic road work in completed there.
The cost of the needed road work has been estimated at NIS20,000. which is about $6000. Our Shomron municipality and the residents of Havat Gilad have a great strain covering the monthly additional expenses of the upkeep of the village, which include tucking in water (because there is not pipe line), and fuel for the generator (because the electric lines do not reach the farm). And so can not do this without outside help.
