Eleos Project Summer Camp 2024

During a visit, a volunteer inquired about the most significant aspect of the Eleos Project. The project leader responded by emphasizing our commitment to nurturing and elevating the values of the children within the program.

Teenagers exude energy and aspirations, yet they often grapple with uncertainties and a lack of guidance. Our mission is to assist them in discovering the essence of life and steering them on the right path.

To soar freely like the wind, youths must harness their inner strength. True power emanates from self-awareness, self-appreciation, self-acceptance, and self-improvement.

True power is found in understanding oneself, and at the Eleos Project, we encourage children to delve into the question "Who am I?" through interactive games and introspective activities.

Self-awareness is a lifelong journey of discovery, laying the foundation for personal development. Embracing self-knowledge opens up new horizons and expands the possibilities of life.

The strength lies in valuing oneself. Have you taken the time to recognize your own unique traits and qualities? It's essential to acknowledge both the positive and negative aspects of your characteristics, as they can be utilized as advantages or disadvantages depending on how they are harnessed.

Efforts should be made to cultivate and develop these traits, leveraging their benefits to turn characteristics into strengths. This process is crucial in the growth of teenagers, where the power of the group plays a significant role.

Apart from group learning, our camp also includes cultural exploration and team-building exercises, recognizing the importance of collective experiences in shaping individuals and fostering personal growth.

Our excursion to Yili Health Valley was a memorable experience for all. We witnessed the innovative production line of modern enterprises, immersed ourselves in the thrill of 5D cinemas, and engaged in friendly competition on large game consoles.

Exploring the Natural History Museum together was a journey through time. From the Inner Mongolia Customs Museum to the Gem Treasure Museum, we marveled at giant dinosaur fossils, ancient creatures, unique geological minerals, and dazzling gem crystals that left us spellbound.

These cultural excursions not only provided enriching experiences but also served as a platform for team training and exploration. The energy and vitality of the youth were on full display during activities such as rugby and team competitions, showcasing their spirit and camaraderie.

The power of unity and togetherness is truly captivating. As we gather, smiling faces join hands and raise their voices in unison, declaring, "I am special." This moment is profoundly moving and uplifting.

In groups, growth and transformation take place. Through interactions, mutual support, and shared experiences, we influence and inspire one another. Together, we embark on a journey of growth and change, and becoming the best versions of ourselves.

The importance of accepting oneself. 

Have you taken the time to truly love and accept yourself? Reflect on who may have hindered your joy of growth, who cast shadows of doubt, or who told you that you are undeserving.

In a unique drama class the children's engagement surpassed expectations. Some took on roles as directors, writers, narrators, and actors, showcasing their talents and creativity.

Embracing self-acceptance means viewing your shortcomings with a positive perspective and looking at your flaws with compassion and understanding. It is about acknowledging and loving every aspect of yourself.

In the journey of life, there will inevitably be days filled with clouds and rain. However, with unwavering persistence and determination, one can still bloom amidst the desert.

True power is found in caring for oneself and others, in surpassing personal boundaries. Like a caterpillar breaking free from its cocoon to become a butterfly or an eagle confidently soaring, bravely confronting obstacles is the path to self-transformation and growth.

Difficulties and obstacles are but temporary hurdles that can be overcome with confidence and courage. With perseverance and resilience, one can break through limitations and exceed personal expectations.

May you find the strength to chase after your distant dreams, to focus on the future and leave behind past pains. Do not lose hope but continue to believe. Let the vigor and determination of youth propel you to soar freely like the wind.

I invite you to extend your care and support to children from challenging family backgrounds, offering them companionship and guidance on their own paths of growth and self-discovery.
