This past July, most of our staff traveled to Daytona Beach, FL to volunteer at BigStuf Camp (an amazing week-long summer youth conference). We had a fairly robust presence in the conference center and had a great time meeting new people and talking to the youth about Kenya and Haiti.
One really cool idea was to hang super-big canvases that had different virtues painted on them – Love, Hope, Obedience, Cooperation, etc. Students were able to write notes of encouragement to kids in Kenya. The idea was to divide the canvases into smaller pieces after camp, and send them to schools in Kenya. The kids there could read and be encouraged by all the notes from students here in the US.
Well, all that happened and we wanted to share some “before and after” photos of the canvases at BigStuf Daytona and in Kenya. They’ve been a huge hit for the schools in Kenya. Thanks to everyone that was at BigStuf Daytona that participated. It’s just another way that we’re trying to build a bridge…
