Work Camp 2020: Canceled
UPDATE: Sunflower Mission's board of directors has decided, in light of the ongoing Corona virus concerns, to cancel our 2020 summer work camp trip. It was not an easy decision to make. But the health of our work campers and their well-being are very important to us thus we have come to this disappointing announcement.
All deposits will be fully refunded. If you have applied but have not heard from our coordinators, please send us a quick message. We appreciate your interest in our work camp and hope that we will see you in a future work camp or at a Sunflower Mission event.
ORIGINAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Since our founding, 17 years ago, work camp has been one of the main pillars of Sunflower Mission. Work camp is an opportunity for our supporters to hone their leadership skills, experience first-hand the daily lives of locals, and develop a deeper appreciation of the Vietnamese language and culture.
We invite you to participate!
The 2020 work camp will start on Monday, June 1, 2020 and conclude on Saturday, June 13, 2020. The work camp site is in the remote district of Tra Khe in Quang Ngai province. The team will stay at a hotel in Tra Bong, approximately 50 km from the work camp site.
