By the time he was in 8th grade, Andrew Bersson had been volunteering at Keshet’s Buddy Basketball and Sunday School for many years. For his bar mitzvah project, he combined his commitment to Keshet with his interest in technology. He saw how useful tablets were at Keshet, and launched iDrew, a campaign to raise money to purchase iPads for Keshet. The iDrew campaign was so successful that he raised over $5000 and purchased 10 iPads for use in Keshet’s classrooms.
