Our trip was incredible. Starting in Seattle and working in many homeless shelters/kitchens was eye opening. Everywhere we went the people were so appreciative... we want to go back.
Camden was so much more than we ever imagined. We were able to help in classrooms, after school programs in four locations, physical plant needs on campus. Some of our men that came along fixed vans, brakes, roofing projects, high ladder work, gardening and tidying yards. Oh, the list could go on and on. Some of the kids organized a huge room full of all kinds of donations, weight lifting room, even tearing a bad wall down so other construction could take place.
We were initially given a tour of Camden and given an overview of the area and it's struggles. Everyday we started with some unique exercises for our bodies and then exercises for our souls. At night we often had speakers or panels come and discuss local issues. It was incredible. We were treated with great enthusiasm and respect and were given many opportunities to work out our faith.
Would we go back....??? In a heartbeat. My photos can only give a little glimpse of a terrific trip.
