Adana is really enjoying the camp. She’s eager to tell me what she’s been doing without me prompting her which means it was fun for her. She said she’s learnt even new terminology which was new for her as she’s asked me a few times what does resilience means for example. And she enjoyed most the idea of creating her own country and her own flag and talked about bills and rights which is great to see her talk about things that she isn’t normally exposed to.

She knows everyone's name. She is really excited to come back. We can't believe how much her confidence increased and she seems to be making friends very quickly. The challenges they faced and the team spirit they have developed were extremely impressive.

Melek had such a gret time in the Invention Camp last week! He definitely felt your energy all day, and I could feel his motivation and happiness when I picked him up every day. He even continued to make some inventions at home after the end of the camp. He told me that the camp was great and the best thing was meeting new friends.
