A festive ceremony was held to inaugurate the Marc Hamon Anières House – a dormitory for the 120 students of the Technion Anières Program. The program’s origins go back to the period after World War II when the ORT Institute was established in the town of Anières, Switzerland, near Geneva, to educate Jewish teenagers to become engineers. A few years after the closure of the Anières Institute, the program was brought back to life in Israel at 2012, at the initiative of Mark Hamon, a graduate of the original school in Switzerland, with the assistance of Robert Singer, who was then the CEO of World ORT. A decade after the opening of the program, at the inauguration ceremony of the dormitory named after him, Hamon said: “It is a great happiness for me to be here today and to inaugurate Anières House… The visit brought back memories of the influence of this school… Now we finally have a home for students on campus – a dream come true.”
