Today the Full Circles team is wrapping up our planning week for Strong Neighbor camp; which focuses on economy, government, and civic engagement. As part of the curriculum planning team I am very excited about the upcoming weeks. In Strong Self camp we talked a lot with the girls about personal and interpersonal health, justice, and empowerment. We're excited to be tying those conversations into conversations about civic engagement and ways that the girls can make a difference in their communities. We have some really fun activities planned. This camp is going to be packed with field trips to various places around Raleigh and with visits from various organizations.
With each camp we have been overwhelmed with support from the Raleigh community. I have really been impressed with how willing people are to donate their time and resources. Sometimes doing fundraising work and starting from scratch can feel really discouraging but my faith in humanity is constantly reinforced by the fact that all we've had to do is ask. Many people have continued to support us by doing workshops with our girls, volunteering their time, and making donations. None of this is to say that we aren't working hard. We have dealt with a lot of frustrations but everything is made worth it by the people who have our backs. I'd like to give a quick thanks to some awesome local businesses for being enthusiastic about Full Circles Foundation: Ornamentea, Scentsuosity, Patina, Benelux Cafe, Meme Boutique, Uptown Cheapskate, Raleigh Rickshaw and many more in the works!
Everyone should remember to visit Tripledips and vote for Full Circles Foundation! Also, don't forget to spread the work about Full Circles Foundation's Indiegogo campaign to raise money for a veggie powered bus! Even just a few dollars would help us get closer to our goal. Thanks to all of you who have helped us out so far!
Well that about wraps it up for today. Stay tuned for more updates in the weeks to come!
