From June 20th until the 23rd, a church group from Wisconsin came and put on a Summer Camp for the Shoe shiners and the boys from our school, Colegio Timoteo. It was a great experience. This was the second time that this group has come down to help us out. All year during classes, the boys would always tell me about the awesome and fun time that they had at camp last year and how excited they were for camp this year. This year there were a lot of familiar faces for the boys from the group from last year and they made a lot of new friends as well. This year's camp theme was based in Matthew 6:19-21 and TREASURE. The week started off with a scavenger hunt through the mountainside and was a week full of Games, activities, sports, arts and crafts, Science projects, and even an outing to the pool and pizza. We discussed the importance of storing up our treasures in Heaven and not on Earth. Also, that wherever it is we have our treasures, that there will be our heart as well. This year was a huge success and there were a lot of opportunities to speak into the guys as well as form solid relationships with them and the team. I just want to say a special thanks to each one who came and poured their hearts out here to these guys. You all have been such a blessing. God Bless.
