PROJECT SCOPE:

TWI for the Children took one and two-day camps to children  in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), Serbia, Kosovo and in Montenegro.  The purpose of our camps are to bring love and fun to children in the Balkans. 

 

Summer opportunities furnished by the "Camp to Kids" program provided  children with a day of fun, learning, lunch and recreation to fulfill our goals of bringing love and fun to children in the Balkans. Our project provided a  positive image of America and demonstrates the desire of the American people to help the people of the Balkans.  Providing resources such as sports and educational equipment to these schools and orphanages materially assist these organizations, and shows the teachers and caregivers new methods to teach their students though crafts, song, dance, stories and games. 

 

The "Camps to Kids" project teaches strong moral values of love, reconciliation, leadership, competition, geography and language that are  shared throughout their villages.

 

 OBJECTIVES:

The objectives of the "Camps to Kids" Project are to:

  •     Bring a day of fun to children in all areas of the Balkans. 

  •      Teach the values of love,  friendship, self-worth and  educational concepts through crafts, games, stories, song and dance that teach language, sport competition, geography and art. 

  •     Provide a platform to show the goodness of the America people and an opportunity to learn about American culture. 

  •     Provide outreach to all ethnic groups by taking "Camps to Kids" to Muslim, Croat, Serb and Kosovar communities. Provide educational and sport equipment to orphanages  and village schools as part of the "Camps to Kids"   project.  

  •     Include "children with special needs" as an important part of our "Camps to Kids" project .

  These camps have become more expensive each year. With the exchange rate with the Euro, our dollars buy less. This year our summer  Camps to kids project will cost more than $25,000.
