One Moldova- One World 2 : Summer Camp

Here is a slideshow of one of my favorite projects I've been able to do here in Moldova as a Peace Corps Volunteer!

I helped my partner Tanya write a grant, and won, to implement a camp for teenagers from the three political regions of Moldova. It was such a wonderful success! The kids wanted to stay longer, unfortunately we didn't have the money. For the time we did spend together I'm so proud of how well the kids worked together, learned from each other, and inspired all of us involved in the project. One of the biggest challenges was the language barrier between Russian and Romanian speakers- this is a big challenge for this country! Fortunately despite our differences, many learned that we share even more similarities. Moldova definitely has a bright future!
