A FUTURE OF FREEDOM

Shanti was terrified that her daughters would have to endure a life of exploitation like hers.

“Nanga Imara Na Thabiti”

This year at camp, two of our older boys got in a big fight. The fight had to be broken up, and instead of participating in camp the following day, these two boys had to stay back and do chores. These are the moments that remind us of exactly why we have camp. It is an opportunity not just to have fun, but to learn and to grow. In the lives of kids all over...
