As many of you may know, A group of volunteers from the 8:15 Mass have been assisting several refugee families from Africa who arrived last fall. It has been an incredibly rewarding experience and continue to assist the families as they adjust to life in the U.S. We are currently organizing an effort to get several of the children enrolled in summer camp.
This will be a wonderful experience for each of them and an opportunity to continue learning English by practicing daily with English speaking children and counselors. They will get the opportunity to learn to swim, play basketball, volleyball and soccer and explore the great outdoors.
It is our goal to sponsor a total of six children for at least three weeks each,
And would love to add more weeks and children as funds allow.
Can you open your heart and help us accomplish this?
The cost is $75 per child per week. Any donation amount is welcome.
