Opportunities to Help Our Zimbabwe, Africa Bound Youth

DSC_5821
 
Despite difficult economic situations,  Zimbabwe’s United Methodist Church has grown and their faith has stood firm. “Zim Camp” offers youth a chance to visit and fellowship with young people in Zimbabwe and help build relationships through assisting with District-to-District partnership projects, all in the spirit of Chabadza*.  Five of our youth; Sami, TJ, Hannah, Alex and Becki; have been chosen, through application and interview, to participate in this years Zim Camp.  The personal cost for each youth is $2500.00 not to mention the cost of a passport and required shots and medications  required by the Department of Health.
 
* The Chabadza Covenant is named for the Shona word “Chabadza”, which roughly translates to people in relationship working alongside each other for mutual benefit. Chabadza is given only to people whom you know, and it is given because when one person succeeds, both
people succeed.
 
 In order to offset some of the cost of the trip for our youth, some fundraiser events have been developed.  The LAST of those opportunities is listed below:

 

July 17 – Date Night – 5:00 pm until 11:00 pm – $5.00/hour/child – Toddlers and older – Trained and                                                      Qualified adults and youth will be on hand to care for your children as you enjoy an

                                          evening to yourself for dinner, shopping, a movie or just to get together with friends.

 

Blessings to you all!
