Ukrainian Kids Camp 2023

Dear family and friends,

As many of you know, due to the war in Ukraine, millions of Ukrainians have sought refuge in nearby Poland and are navigating a new life in a foreign country. In response to the needs of these families, the JPII Project launched a Ukrainian Kids Camp last summer for children to develop their knowledge of English and to restore a sense of normalcy through structure, fun, and time with other children. The response to the camp was overwhelming and proved to be a transformative experience for everyone involved. Entering into the struggles, joys, and life of the children was an incredible witness to the power of love to stretch across language and culture. I am overjoyed to be returning to Poland again this summer and to continue the mission I began last summer

If you are interested in sharing this mission with me, I encourage you to prayerfully consider supporting in whatever way you can. We are in need of significant financial support to put on the camp and would be immensely grateful for your support in that area. Most especially, though, I ask for your prayers, as we seek to bring the light and hope of Christ to the children and families we encounter.

Thank you for your ongoing prayers and support in this work of building a civilization of love!

Peace,

Lizzy Sutherland

"As their homeland is being devastated by war, many Ukrainian children are living in Krakow, Poland - the homeland of Saint John Paul II. 

Our mission is to help young people build the civilization of love and truth, and what better way for American young adults to do so than by encouraging, teaching and evangelizing the future generation of Ukraine - all in the spirit of Saint John Paul II!

Last year's Ukrainian Kids Camp was a wonderful success, with 100 children and only 9 outside volunteers. This year parents and children alike are excited to experience a place of joy and freedom, to grow in friendship with each other and Jesus, and to improve their English with native speakers.

(Ukraine Kids Camp 2022)

We need your help this year to sponsor 100 Ukrainian children, to bring 18 young Americans to Krakow, and to make this camp twice as good for our little campers! 

Your impact will carry far into the future of these little children's lives, as well as the lives of the young adults who will serve them. We are very grateful for every dollar you are able to contribute.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us."

Peace be with you,
