2018 was a good year of growth for Kids4Peace: Cincinnati. We added a fifth day to the day camp this year, and had the largest group yet. Three of our kids, who have been with us since, 2016 attended the International Camp in North Carolina, where they had the opportunity to be with kids from Jerusalem and Palestine. They had a wonderful time, and looking forward to meet with their international friends at another camp in 2019. Other returning campers are interested in also attending the International Camps. As the kids mature, additional, exciting camps will be available to them.
Our returning kids have now formed a Kids4Peace Youth Leadership Program. The group meets on the first Sunday afternoon of the month, at Wise Temple in Amberly, from 2:00-3:30 PM. During their time together they continue to develop skills learned in camp, and begin to work directly in planning and developing their K4P events. All interested youth are invited to join. It is not necessary to first attend the Day Camp, and all children are welcome.. The leadership program offers another opportunity to participate. Watch our facebook page for other events that will be available to all.
Our mission is to work to stop acts of violence and hate within the local community. Respond to and promote change in deviseive and hateful behavior. This was demonstrated last weekend, when in the aftermath of the tragedy in Pittsburg, several members of our Kids4Peace family, adults and youth, joined our local Jewish Community at Shabbat services in the local synagogues. The experience was uplifting for all involved.
Let us continue to stand with our neighbors, and build a more peaceful home for all of our citizens.
SAVE THE DATE!
