We are doing something no one else I know is doing in the field of aid in a nation at war. We don't just give away supplies. That's the least we do. We have designed what we provide so that people will have a different experience of this war than others displaced by it. We have nurtured a community of love and support.
The most effective long-term healing comes from relationships within a community of love and support. That experience is essential to healthy childhood development and for the emotional health of adults. That's what we do. At the end of this war, the families who have been a part of the work of This Child Here will move ahead with life and decisions with far more ease and self-confidence than others.

Third camp, Varna, Bulgaria
Our first camp of the summer began on July 4th with the US national anthem. Together, we sang, painted, created shell decorations, and wove bracelets.
We sat against a wall, shielded from the window. Two drones hit about 100 yards away. Listen for the whine of the engine and propeller, the sound of machine guns trying to shoot them down, and the explosions. CLICK THE IMAGE FOR A 2 MINUTE INTRODUCTION TO THIS CHILD HERE.
Summer camp, in Varna Bulgaria, 2023 included more than 100 people, 3 volunteers from the USA and 2 camps. Such a simple recipe for happiness and a safe environment for families displaced by war.
