I have always believed that it is very important to dream in order to reach our goals, briefly it means to sleep with a dream and wake up with a purpose.

I’m Juan Daniel Paredes, a sixteen-years-old teenager who live in Colombia (South America), born in Bogota its capital city, I’m very happy like all Colombians are, I’m social I love to share with others. If I look back in my life I have been trying to help others, always wanting to go further seeking to know and enjoy all the social, religious, politics and cultural differences. I was a camper on 2016, a great year because I shared as a first-year camper with other people from several different countries who not just became my friends, they also became like my brothers. My memories take me to each one of their countries and this makes me happy day by day, but now I want you, who is reading this text to know my goals as a second year: meet new people, and give to them a perfect experience as it was given to me last year, teach them those virtues I learned from camp and of which I’m pretty sure that will last forever, share my life experiences, now is the time to teach others the characteristics and values that make people not only a good leader  but also makes good people. 

I can’t deny that come back to camp is really exciting as it was the first time, but this time the most important thing is to teach the new campers in what I have learned and to leave a part of me in each of them. To you who is reading this, I invite you to help me to gather the necessary funds to pay for travel tickets. 

I’ll be eternally grateful
