It's only been a week...

It's only been a week and already I am starting to feel attached to the young campers. As the first week ended, I reflect on the many interactions we had with the kids...I realize how amazing these children are despite the many hardships in their lives.

They are challenging, I won't deny it...but I wouldn't change my experience for the world because behind every tantrum is an innocent child seeking acceptance, understanding, and a friend. 

I'm really excited to be part of this camp...and every morning I look forward to seeing the kids =]

I am truly proud of all the mentors and want to congratulate each an every member of our team...I am thankful for working with such a great group of people...you guys really make this experience fun and worthwhile =] Everyone has amazing talents that will make a difference in these children's lives ...

Can't wait for week 2!!!!!!!
