For some 13 to 14 years now we have annually help the many handicap children learn the pastime of metal detecting for treasure. Even with their problems, we can show them how they can still have an outdoor hobby they can do and enjoy. This year's dates are: June 9th & 10th, 2010, Wednesday and Thursday starting at 8:00 AM. On the 8th a number of us will arrive to install new batteries and set up table and etc. to get ready for the 200 kids we'll work with for the next two days.
Before I go any further, let me say this: "Everyone is Invited to Come and Help Us" If you can only help one day that is great too. The Lions Camp for Handicap Children in Kerrville, TX. really enjoys us donating our time and knowledge to these kids and one look at the faces of these kids and you know they are extremely happy to see us as well. Not only will the kids learn how to enjoy metal detecting for treasures, but they will discover that there is a outdoor hobby the can enjoy even if they are in a wheelchair, deaf or blind. These children are our future and them learning the hobby could someday change it for us all.
Lastly, we need helpers/workers and we "need Foreign Coins" to hide for the kids. This has become an activity for all campers that visit the camp each year, thus the very reason why we also teach all the counselors as we are teaching the kids, so they can continue the activity with the foreign coins we leave with them and the dozen detectors that was donated to the camp. Each child will go home with a handful of foreign coins they found with the use of a metal detector. Please help this activity for these kids stay alive by donating your foreign coins, or you can buy them by the pound at coins shops fairly cheap.
If you need any more information or wish to donate foreign coins, please contact me.
Thanks so much, Keith Wills
