I hope you are able to watch the slide show above. If not I am also uploading it to youtube as well. Pictures are worth a thousand words, but I still need to share my initial reactions to the project that I just carried out. 

To all that donated to the project, Thank you. I wish you all could have been there to see it with your own eyes. It was truly the ultimate "feel good" experience. We were offering these students an experience that they had never had before. Every Panamanian agency kept saying how rare and unique it was and that they should aprovecharlo, take advantage of it and enjoy it to the fullest. And I genuinely feel that the youth did take advantage of this experience and that they all had an amazing time. Our last night one of the most participatory students shared that she hated "despedidas (goodbyes)" and i apologized and told her unfortunately that's what we had planned for the evening. 

In total we had 31 Panamanian Youth attend camp and we had the help of 12 phenomenal Peace Corps Volunteers--Beth, Tali, Danielle, Amber, Kendra, Ruth, Chelsea, Alex, Nick, Andrew, and Whitney. Without these volunteers, the camp wouldn't have been possible. All of these volunteers went above and beyond. 



































Thank you to all of the donors! Muchisimas gracias! More to come!
