In late August, Hagar’s Values and Activities team held a camp for Hagar’s Community Based care program. Over 130 young people came for the camp - a range of students from Hagar’s programs.

The goal of the camp was to teach these young leaders about developing strong values and giving back to the community.

Students led most of the activities! They made grafts, played games, held worship sessions and had team building activities.

One of the main goals of the camp was to develop a positive attitude towards community service. We wanted the youth to understand their value better by helping others. The students helped a family rebuild their house. They offered gifts, helped clean and plant trees and built good relationships with the family. Some students also visited an orphanage where they hosted fun activities for the children.                                                                            

It was encouraging to bring the students to Cambodian historical sites where they learned more about the history of the Khmer Rouge regime and how it has impacted our culture. The youth were moved by this experience.

It was a blessing to be a part of this trip. These students are great kids! We praise God for the work He is doing.
