Camp: The calm and The chaos

To follow is a series images that were taken over 2 weeks while volunteering on a summer camp for 48 Roma kids organized by the LORA foundation in Bulgaria.
The only people I knew at the start of the camp was Jack, Eslabe and Lora.( the founders)
to break the ice an the 1 hour bus trip from Sofia I got up from the back walked to the front and took this photo.

The flags of the nationalities of the volunteers (multiple countries and continents but serving one GOD)

the other 4 were found after the children had left

Was an amazing camp and i pray that God will make it possible for me to return next year!
Will miss all from the camp and remember the great friends i have made.

Hope to see you all again if it is only next year or the year after. I look forward to it!
