Blessing Afrifa, 16 years old, born & raised in Israel to Ghanaian parents, seems to be a rising star in the short runs area & dreams to represent Israel in this field.
Sounds great? Well, not really…
The law in Israel grant citizenship to permanent residents who reached 18 years old only , so we approached to the Ministry of interior & to the minister Derhi & asked to bring forward his case. We hope to receive a positive answer shortly.
You can read more about Blessing & his special legal case in an article that published today in ידיעות אחרונות Yedioth Ahronoth & in Ynet.
