(RWE) has been bringing weeks of summer fun to young Dominicans with special needs.<\/p>\n<p>Ready, Willing\u2026Enable! is a new charitable organization based in the United States.\u00a0 Its two founders, Edwin Blanton and Jennifer Catron are both Returned Peace Corps Volunteers who served in Dominica years ago.\u00a0 Together they identified an ongoing need and designed a way to stay involved with the country they once served. They realized that disabled persons in developing countries are often not treated equally because of their disabilities and decided young people with special needs especially want and deserve a safe space to learn and have fun.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to collaboration with Lifeline Ministries, the US Peace Corps, and the Dominica Association for People with Disabilities (DAPD), this year\u2019s two-week camp was yet another success. The volunteers all wore shirts touting the slogan \u201cDisability is not INability\u201d and the camp followed that motto to the letter by encouraging all campers to participate in all levels of activities.<\/p>\n<p>Over twenty young people, both with special needs and without, attended the first week of camp held in Roseau and close to fifteen youths attended the camp the following week in Vielle Casse. The campers participated in activities including candle making, collaging, singing, dancing, tag, relay races, parachute games, and ended the week with a field trip to the Soufriere Sulphur Springs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe tried to engage the campers in as many entertaining activities as possible,\u201d explains Peace Corps Volunteer Amirh Morgan, \u201cbut the main goal of the camp was simply to provide the youths with a positive environment for them to interact with each other.\u201d And the campers did just that. The pictures can\u2019t possibly do justice, but you can tell by the smiles on the campers\u2019 faces how successful the camp was<\/p>\n<p>A special thanks to the New Day Church in Goodwill for lending your accommodations, Lifeline Ministries and DAPD for your support (and the snacks), and to Dial-a-Ride Van for providing the transportation!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Over the last few years Ready, Willing\u2026 Enable!
