Camp Heartland/Journey of Hope
www.campheartland.org, ph: 800-724-HOPE
Camp Heartland is a leader in national HIV/AIDS awareness efforts. At Journey of Hope presentations nationwide, the children of Camp Heartland speak openly and honestly about their experiences with HIV and AIDS. By sharing their personal stories they make a powerful impact — much more than simply sharing statistics about the disease. They recite poems, sing, dance, lead skits, and most importantly, connect with audience members. If you are interested in learning more about this exciting program and how to bring it to your community, please contact Julie Walker, Community Education Coordinator at 800-724-HOPE.
