Safe In My Brothers' Arms                                         Safe In My Sisters' Arms

An African proverb states that “it takes a village to raise a child.” In the past, the community worked together to insure the safety and well-being of our youth. Youth were raised and supported by a cohesive family unit and community. In recent years, it appears the family unit has broken down and the community has turned their backs on our youth. Poverty, drugs, and violence have shattered many homes. Many youth are being raised without their fathers and mothers. In addition, an increasing number of youth are being taken care of by their grandparents. In certain inter-city communities, as much as forty-five percent of youth have grandparents as their legal guardians. Often times, these grandparents are taking care of more than one grandchild at a time.  To get a view of the camp experience and help us strengthen the village watch our two part video and click
