During this camp will be attended by people belonging to various nationalities and multiple salt aim of mixing between people, a series of activities in close collaboration with the orphans that are programmed in a festive and fraternal.
Thus, to achieve the mission and take charge of this project, we would ask people to manifest good will, support us financially and materially, so that many of them are supported. That for there is still hope for them.
According to the program "International Charity Camp, participants will spend the entire day to clean, work for their cleanliness and share the moment of joy with them so they no longer feel abandoned and hopeless.
Theme: "Sharing your joy with the Orphans'
All people of goodwill contributors of this project will be engraved with the names not only in the guestbook Association - IMAC, but also displayed at the center of the Orphanage of Christ.
Whatever you give us we receive with pleasure. All your donations on any kind are welcome and will be used faithfully for vulnerable children "street children, disabled children and orphans."
In the hope of a favorable response to our call, please receive our greetings humanists.
