PFST Report – Brossard Summer Camp July 2016

PFST report in Brossard as of July 27, 2016 for monies received from CORA for the REVER project. $1,000 for the construction of housing facilities and $900 for the purchase of 150 plaintain seedlings (a dozen @ 300 gdes per dozen). A total of 45,000 gdes was spent for tilling the soil and for transportation to the fields. Forty seven (47) families benefited from this agricultural project.

The Summer Camp was sponsored by the Renesansavo program of CORA and was supervised by the PFST in Brossard. Br. Camille met with the counselors on July 10 to review what was expected from them during the 2 weeks.

The summer camp began on July 11, 2016. Every day began with prayer, a biblical excerpt, followed by different sports, educational activities, music/song, and Arts and Crafts. The day camp ended at 5:30 pm after the day’s evaluation and final prayer.   One trip to the beach was made.  However, the other trip to the waterfall had to be cancelled because of bad weather and impassable roads.

The camp was organized to accommodate 50 children but 62 showed up (32 girls and 30 boys), and they were then divided into 5 groups. Five members of the Renesansavo Project were hired to be counselors at the camp and instruct the campers in specific areas, according to their talents.

Children and parents were happy for these summer days and thanked all the groups as well as individuals who made financial contributions to pay for the personnel, breakfast and lunch, supplies, trips, and tools. Total expenditure for this venture was $4,809.
