Family Promise

For the past two days i have been working hard with trying to make partnerships with different summer programs for the children of family promise. SO far i have made connections with Zelma George, programs in East Cleveland, as well as he Karamu house. My goal is to try and find different types of camps that different children can participate in. Im finding it very hard to find places that are free or affordable. For someone who has no money 75 a week or just to start the program is hard. Im learning just the basic things that we do like go to summer camp can be hard for those who has no income. Transportation is also a huge problem with these programs because most summer program does not provide transportation. For the families at family promise especially the ones at the Kinsman location, they do not have transportation for their children to go to the summer camps. I am slowly but surely trying to make a stable partnership with a program for the children at family promise. My next step will be to find funding for the children so we can help the parents send their children off to the summer camps.
