Here are the promised camp pictures!






Ready to go on the first day! No giant footlockers full of stuff for Kyrgyz children. Five days (including sheets and slippers) in one plastic bag. Americans can learn a little something about packing lightly from them.













The whole camp, with volunteers and helpers!














The awesome ladies who ran the sanatorium where camp was.











If Peace Corps has taught us nothing, it's innovation. An empty pool became a volleyball court and a broken chair, sticks, and packing tape became a basketball hoop...











Team-building and problem solving were fun sessions...













Me, Martha, and a curious kid coloring in certificates.















Dance class was a hit!









More dancing










The boys loved watching Step Up 2: The Streets.








Girls working on a poster











Boys working on a poster













More team building













Me and a helper (Begimai) teaching a self-esteem lesson















Cross dressing and dancing were popular at the talent show



"girls" performing at the talent show








Just being girls... Cross dressing is a popular joke here in Kyrgyzstan.
