Deep insights flowing from the ADRA booth in the Expo Hall

ADRA have taken a novel approach at their expo booth this year, posting thought-provoking questions daily on a large board and inviting passerby to write their response in the blank space. These questions have sparked some rather good replies from the camp community. Upon request, ADRA has agreed to share those insights right here with the readers of the Big Camp Chronicles.

• friendship and support
• stuff needs to be cheaper
• reduced cost of living

• cheaper bills better homes

How can you use your voice to make a difference?

• Encourage someone who looks sad
