After spending the past two years in the media trying to retrieve her husband from the clutches of Hizbullah, Karnit Goldwasser is trying to get over his death using the same medium. Starting in November, she will present a weekly segment on the environment for Channel 2's educational children's show 'Ossim Seder' (Arranging Things).

 

Goldwasser, who received an MA in environmental engineering from the Technion, told Channel 10 in a recent interview that she did not feel able to return to her normal life as a researcher at the university. 

 

In moving on, she is merging her experience in the media - acquired painfully over the past two years - with an issue that was close to her heart before her personal tragedy took place.

 

"I see (green) issues as a sort of calling or public service. After the Israeli public did so much for us and supported us, I'm glad to try and give something back," Goldwasser said her upcoming involvement in the program.

 

In response, Director-General for Israel Educational TV Yaffa Vigodsky responded that "I am pleased that Karnit Goldwasser, a woman who we all learned to appreciate, agreed to join our educational team, particularly on such an important issue."

 

"There is a global problem and it's important to increase awareness constantly," Vigosky added.
