Youngsters at a South Delta Baptist Church day camp last month showed off their super powers.
The camp, which hosted 327 kids from the community from July 14 to 18, was packed with activities but also designed to build awareness in kids about both local and global needs. This year's theme, Super City: Hero Training Camp, was created to magnify that awareness by communicating to kids they are able to go out into the world and affect change by bravely and intentionally helping others in need.
This was put into practice at the camp as children brought items for the South Delta Food Bank daily. Kids filled six heaping shopping carts with canned fruit, vegetables, chicken, tuna and beans as well as cereal, tea and coffee, which will be distributed to low-income families in the community.
The kids were also challenged to bring in nickels every day and together they raised $1,804.54 for the Dalit Freedom Network. This will provide six years of education for a Dalit child in India. Education is a great weapon against a future in human trafficking and opens the door for further schooling in major cities
