Third World Camp: A Beautiful Struggle
posted (July 10, 2012)
Sportsman Deon Flowers has been organizing the Third World Sports and Education Summer Camp on the St. Martin's De Porres Grounds for 13 years.

It's a true grassroots event and every year it seems more children participate.

This year, he says it's a challenge since he also feeds the children, but he told us it's a beautiful struggle:..

"I plan this every year, I try to keep the youths off the streets and try to keep them active. The longer we can get more support - now we are getting support. It is a lot of kids and we need everybody to keep the community safe."

"I am still looking out for people. I invite them to come out, come out and see that you get your half. Itis something for the kids. The name of the camp is Third World, it is not just for kids from back here, it means that everybody who is interested to participate worldwide. This is for them, the young generation because we are tired of hearing the mothers cry that their young one is dead."

"We want all the communities come together so that we can do the good thing of working together so we can slow down the crime. If I say that I don't need your help - means that I am ignorant. I need everybody help. Once you can help we will accept your help."

"I want everyone to come out to see what is happening and do your part because if you invest your money here, you money will be invested in something good."

If you want to contribute to the camp you can visit the camp on the St. Martin's Football Field or call him at 607-8785.
