The last bell rings and all rush into the warming sun as children of WMF Moldova lay aside heavy backpacks for three months of summer freedom. For the little ones, a year of hard work in reading and math skills is finally rewarded with long days of running free. For the 9th grade graduates, final exams still loom in the coming weeks of June, with uncertain thoughts of the future not far behind. At the fragile ages of 14-15-years-old, each graduate will have to decide which high school or trade school to attend by September 1st. They also say goodbye to close friends formed as a class since the first grade.
This year WMF Moldova (La VIA) staff walked closely with four of these 9th grade graduates. We are proud of their successes and hopeful for their future!
Now that school is out we are busy with preparations for a full week of overnight camp in partnership with Aarhus LeoClub, Denmark. June 29-July 5 will be a full week of fun, learning, growing and planting more seeds for the future. Check out this short video to see highlights form last years camp.
