| Camp team and some of the kids |
The first week of camp is already over. It was wonderful, and it was also really hard. The kids were amazing. We all enjoyed getting to know them. They really touched our hearts, and also broke our hearts for the hard situations they're in. Because this is a shelter they're in and out a lot, and their trauma is very fresh and ongoing. The orphanage system is bad, but most of the kids we have known in it before this have some kind of stability and a place of their own in it. These kids don't even have that.
We didn't take our camera out even once, but our friends got a lot of good photos. You should be able to see most of them, even without a Facebook account. Here are some links:

Thank you so much for your prayers! I know that is what has kept us going. Next week will be camp in Tsyurupinsk. That might be a little easier emotionally, but it's still going to be a challenge in other ways. I'm one of the two coordinators for that camp, and we'll be staying in Tsyurupinsk the whole time. Please keep praying for us.
