Blue Rock Camp
Last week, after taking care of some things at school on Monday, I met up with Josh and the two of us headed up the chairlift to Karandila. Karandila is the area at the top of the mountains right next to Sliven and has a number of hizhas and more proper hotels. Josh and I had agreed to help Christin with her summer camp for teenage girls from the area. B19 Tara from nearby Yambol also joined us as a "counselor". The idea of this camp is to teach (in English) things about values, leadership, gender roles, healthy living, etc., etc. I was there mostly to provide support as needed. I also had to carry up about a hundred pounds of equipment to show some videos on human trafficking, to show a movie on "movie night" and to serve as a karaoke machine for, you guessed it, karaoke night. There were only 9 girls at the camp, but they all got along well and it turned out very well. It was the first time one of the girls had had an overnight stay away from her family. You could tell at the end that she really, really liked the camp. They all seemed to be quite pleased with it and this made me happy. I feel like I did so much more in those 5 days than in most of the rest of the year. And Christin did almost all of the work!
Keep up the good work!
