Student You Sent to Camp
A young teen is at Cal Poly Elite Soccer Camp now thanks to Womenade. He called his teacher last night to say that his roommate, also age 11, is from Templeton. Most of the boys play on Club Elite Teams, and they are impressed that this boy plays as well as he does since he doesn't have the money to be on such a team. He says camp is better than he even thought it would be, and the food is delicious at Campus Dining. He loves the staff and is grateful for this opportunity. When his teacher picked him up, his mother came in from the fields in her work garb. Just imagine the Migrants that you see as you are driving around our beautiful county and see the field workers bent over, heads covered, and faces half covered to not breathe in so much dust. She looked like that, and the welcoming staff at Cal Poly treated her with dignity; the mom wanting to see where her son would be, and the staff, especially Kevin Collins, graciously welcoming this camper. Thank you Womenade!
