Default Re: Volunteering

I used to volunteer for taking lightly handicapped kids and kids with learning disabilities on short holidaycamps (like 3-4 days). It were kids that needed 1 adult on 2 kids ratio, and it showed, lol. I still remember the first time vividly, when we came at the camp site the first thing I saw and was amazed about was 3 12 year olds ripping a trafficsign out of the ground, with concrete base and all. The first night one of the tents burned down.
The second day one kid took a nosedive from the wrong side of he swimmingpool divingboard and lost all his front teeth. I can still remember sitting at the dentist, him with a teethless big smile, and me with a completely startled expression and white as a sheet, lol. Those were the days
