Lifesong Ukraine held it's first ever Special Needs camp Stars and Light this past summer. It was a great experience! The goal of the camp was to bring a spark of joy in their hearts, not only to the kids (Stars), but also to the orphanage staff.

 

 

 

 

The Ukraine director states,

 We have an enthusiastic team of staff and volunteers on the SN initiative. It is small and young, but looks like they are very committed to bring a joy and purpose to those kids. It was a great encouragement to all of us that the SN initiative develops in the right direction and that we were able to bring a true Light in a way that many kids have the ability to understand."

The camp was a 6 days event on the SN orphanage ground (120 km away). There were 6 camp team members for 125 kids and 27 orphanage workers. There were crafts, sports, games, etc.
