My child loved her counselor and the friends she made the most. She loved that her counselor prayed with them daily and sang to them.

At home, I don’t really connect with God, but now I am going to try my hardest to do so. Wanake makes me a better person. I love it.

My daughter loved everything! I think the frog pond, making friends, and singing songs ranked pretty high because she kept returning to those experiences.

I feel that living without electricity, running water, and mattresses made me realize how grateful I am for the things I have, but also know I can live without them.
