Anna Glick first came to Campo Alegria on a mission trip with the Navigators Group this past February 2010. We were blessed enough to have her volunteer again this summer for about a month as she helped us co-run our weekly summer camps during the month of June. Here is a small write up of her experience returning to Campo Alegria for a second time.
"When I returned to Campo Alegria I had little idea of what to expect, and it turned out to be nothing like I had imagined. During my three week stay I helped with four different camps. Each group came with different challenges and different surprises. However, what stayed the same was the feeling that you made a difference in these kids lives. For a couple of days they got to have fun, play games, swim, eat good food, and hear about God's love for them. I, in return, was rewarded with hugs, smiles, and the opportunity to serve others. Some of the most meaningful and fulfilling experiences I have ever had have been in Nicaragua. Sometimes I lose sight of the big picture, but after spending time with these kids, I’m reminded of who and what we are to live our lives for. The people and my time spent in Nicaragua has forever touched and changed my life."
Thanks Anna for all of your help. We miss you already.
