After my book club read Three Cups of Tea my girlfriend and I were so inspired to do... something!!! (My book club got to meet Greg Mortenson at a book signing in San Fransisco. He is like a "rock star" to me!) We decided (after much conversation) to start a summer camp called Camp Character. We live in a fairly well-to-do area and felt that the children in our community needed to learn more about serving others... giving back. Camp Character is a week long program where children from grades 2-6 can come and first get educated about the needs of our own community, surrounding community and the world. Then children get to pick whatever "pulls at their heart" to create/make something for someone/some animal in need. On the last day of camp we actually GO to the place and give them our items such as... "A Hope Jar", kid made -cat beds/dog pull toys/dog treats to our local SPCA, collect Pennies for Peace (Greg Mortenson's project), made no-sew blankets for Project Night, Night for homeless children, make "giving plates" filled with brownies/cookies and give them to people we know that could use a smile, collect clothes/canned food for Project Dignity in Oakland, CA and much, much more. Thank your Greg Mortenson for your inspriation!!! "We listened to the wind" as you would say, and followed through. Your the best!
