This year's healing arts camp at New Dawn High School was another wonderful success. Judy led the drama portion. The students had a great time with her opening warm up exercises.
Ann led the poetry part of the program which was phenominal. Everyone did an intial prompt in our whole group and then several shared their poems.
Our story this year was the story of Joseph and our theme was forgiveness and healing the wounds of our families of origin. Kay led the devotions which really tied our themes together. Several students met individually with Kay who is also a wonderful counselor.
We also invited former New Dawn students to come share their testimonies of healing and forgiveness. These were very powerful and well received by the current students. This is Faith sharing her story. She is now in college and is one of Kizimani's sponsored students.
I led the visual arts portion and we painted Joseph's coat and other elements of Joseph's life and his dreams.
Kasey, one of the students I have tracked with for 4 years now, came to visit!
The final performance went very well as the students shared what they produced from our four arts groups. Here is the music and dance group.
My students sharing our Joseph mural.
The poetry group was very powerful and brought many of us to tears.
After presenting certificates to each student, the director spoke and then Hans gave a closing prayer.
