Hello everyone,
So right now I am involved in organizing several summer camps that involve youth and Peace Corps Volunteers throughout the country.
In order to fund these camps, which are great ways to get youth out of their communities and give them an opportunity to travel and meet other people, we need help from the US. There isn't much money here in the DR to finance youth camps, so what PCVs do is set up a online link through Peace Corps Washington where people can go online and donate to our cause. Right now I am working with 9 other volunteers to organize a 3-day sports camp where each volunteer will bring two kids from their community to participate in different sports and workshops about sportsmanship, leadership and how to take care of their bodies. It's shaping up to be a ton of fun and a great experience for the kids! However, we still don't have quite enough money to pull it off. If you are interested in helping us out, you can make a donation by going to this link: https://www.peacecorps.gov/index.cfm?shell=resources.donors.contribute.projDetail&projdesc=517-296 It would be greatly appreciated, and I will be sure to post pictures and a full report after we have the camp in August!
