GEM 2006!
GEM (Global Education Mission for Youth) is a short term mission of English camps held in South Korea that I have attended the past four summers. This year’s camp will likely consist of two weeklong VBS camps, both in the countryside. After the two camps, there will hopefully also be a four day service/praise camp here at my orphanage. The approximate dates of GEM are July 19 – August 9. Support money will be anywhere from $1300 – $1700… it will cover your plane ticket, food, and travel within Korea. Housing, location of camps, and materials will be taken care of here. I’ll be helping staff the time at the orphanage.
