One of the things we did last summer at camp is have the kids dress up for a camp glamour picture. We have a large picture of Snow White that some of the kids stand in front of when they take their picture. One of the translators asked an orphan if they knew who Snow White was. The orphan replied, ‘Yes, she's my mom. And she is coming back for me.’

For some, Snow White on TV is the closest they ever get to having a mom. They see what others have in this life and the only way they can get a family is by creating an imaginary world where people love them. But Snow White will never come because imaginary people cannot love. They cannot give them a hug, or go down a waterslide, make a craft, or throw a ball with them.

But those things happen at camp. And that's the best part, getting to see children light up as they enjoy a week full of love and laughter. I look forward to updating you from China. A huge thank you to all of you who are making this summer possible!!!
