I had the most amazing opportunity to work with nineteen children for a week. The children who were selected for this camp are from foster homes, broken families, and other adverse situations. Each one of these kids startled something inside me. I love being struck- it's one of the most imporatant things in life, to be struck by another human being. It's imporant to me to get out of my own small world, my own relationships, jobs, life. I'm so thankful for this experience that poured new light into my life. These children go through struggle, conflict, not the rosiest of experiences, BUT it's like their sweet spirits, smiles, and inner joy are trying to put the pieces back together. The mission of the Summer Enrichment Camp is to provide a positive and enriched environment and fulfilling experiences for at risk youth in the Brunswick, Georgia area. Thank you to everyone who made this camp possible by donating...
