eyerus

2 years ago at summer camp i had the most humbling and life shaking experience!
the band that was playing was a supporter and a speaker for world vision which is a support group for kids in africa who are terribly affected by HIV/AIDS.
that night when all of our girls in our cabin were meeting together we were all thinking the same thing. we all felt that we needed to do something about the children starving when we can go out to a store and buy a coke for a $1.
that night we pooled all of our extra money we had brought and we managed to raise appx. $160. we funded her for 4 months advance!!!!
this last camp i went to was a family camp in california. there they showed the jr. high and highschool a video called "invisible children." it was the hardest thing besides "the passion of the Christ" that i ever had to watch. it showed how the kids are taken captive and forced to kill people for the rebles who are going against the government. kids were totured until they were brainwashed!!!
the kids were constantly in fear for their life.
now i am dedicated to sharing that feeling of needing to do something with my youth group every month and am going to get in touch with eyerus once more.
