Summer Camps
Star of Hope has been organizing summer camps since 2003. Our aim is to assist social integration of underprivileged children and teenagers and to prevent anti-social behaviour.
The camps include mainly children from the two social institutions, supported by Star of Hope, in Roman and Dolno Draglishte, as well as children at risk from Strumjani Municipality.
The summer camps provide a welcome relief from the everyday hardships and an opportunity for underprivileged children to mix with others, learning social and communicational skills, developing positive relationships and building confidence and self-esteem. The children enjoy taking part in the variety of activities we offer them during our camps: games, swimming pool, drama, art and crafts, sports, fellowship and various discussions.
By integrating children from different groups we seek to break down prejudice, intolerance and self-interest, promoting greater care and responsibility for each other. Encouraging friendship, cooperation and awareness of each other’s needs opens channels of valuable dialogues. By inviting volunteers from other countries we provide an opportunity for the children to explore different cultures and to enlarge their horizon.
