Summer Reading Camps
It’s not likely that one week at a summer camp and a small $1,500 investment is going to change a child’s life and set that child on the road that leads to economic self-sufficiency instead of poverty. But then, it’s not likely that a mustard seed will ever amount to much either. Or is it?
