Field Update: December 30, 2007

Check our Stories Page for a message that may help those of you who may be considering your first trip to Mississippi, or those who have been here before and wondering if it would be worth coming again. Perhaps this little testimonial will help you to make the decision.

Note: We are in need of updated pictures for our Field Reports. Those of you who have travelled to Mississippi and have posted pictures of your group, work or experience at Camp Hope on a website, please send a link of that website to: stevehulst@charter.net. With your permission, we may use some of these pictures in future reports. Thank you !
