Summer Camp For Male Inner City Youth

Well here is another email from my friend Kafele:


Dear Family and Friends:
Organizing for Unity and Respecting Self (O.U.R.S.) a non-profit organization and Elevated Places, Incorporated would like to thank you for your previous support. To remind you, Elevated Places and O.U.R.S. are social service agencies serving the needs of families of the community.

In collaboration this year we will host our 2nd Annual Overnight Leadership Academy and Manhood Training Camp in Bronwood, Georgia, June 25, 2008 to July 25, 2008. We will train ten young boys from New Jersey. This will be a journey of a life time because some of the youth have never been out of the inner-city.
We ask that you assist us by donating monetary and in-kind donations. O.U.R.S. and Elevated Places estimate cost at $20,000 for four weeks; transportation, room, and board etc. Please note all donations are tax deductible.
Participating students are enrolled in courses where instructors will use a structured manhood training and leadership development curriculum. The Academy will visit a near by farm where students will receive lessons in the field of agriculture. There will also be other activities such as horseback riding, boating and fishing. This will be a great opportunity to assist young men in their transition to manhood.
Please remember no donation is too small or large and please pass this on to your friends and family.
If you require additional information or would like to contact us please do so at: elevatedplaces1@yahoo.com .
