One of Our Own

Check out the photos and report from one of our very special List Kids, Samer! Due to a generous donation from Independent Means, Samer spent a week at the exciting "Camp Start Up" (www.independentmeans.com). He wrote a report about his experiences and sent us some photos. He also is making a short video about his experience, which we will post here when he is done. As you will see from his report, this is the first time Samer has flown on an airplane by himself and his first camp experience here in the U.S. Way to go, Samer! We are very proud of you.

Independent Means graciously offered a spot in its week-long camp and The List Kids Team was able to fund Samer's airfare to camp. We are extremely grateful to Independent Means for their generous offer and to Samer for sharing his report and photos with us.

Peace,
Sky

How cool is this?

Since I last blogged, many people have offered to help the List Kids. A young man in Reno offered to part with his old game systems. Another young man in Louisiana is going to set up a lemonade stand to raise money for the List Kids. A wonderful woman in Oklahoma took the time to send a large number of cards and stickers for the care packages. She even wrote "welcome" in Arabic. Others have ordered items from the List Kids Target Wish List. I was also thrilled to learn this week that some folks have written about the List Kids on their blogs. In addition, we have had several companies contact The List Kids offering help. One of the coolest offers came from the CEO of an amazing summer camp program,

http://www.independentmeans.com/imi/summer. It is really awesome to see other people getting interested in The List Kids project.

I would love to feature you and your List Kids project here on my blog. Send me an email about your project and a photo and I will post it here. I will also send anyone who emails me about their project a cool blue, glow-in-the dark List Kids wristband. Send your emails to kids@thelistproject.org.

I look forward to hearing from you!
