15 years of history and a summer full of activities! After two years without gathering on the site, children, young people and volunteers were able to come together at the John Paul II Centre for a new edition of the Noah\u2019s Ark camp over three weeks this summer in Huatusco, Mexico. Here is the testimony of Martha de la Cruz, a Mennaisian laywoman. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Activities related to the roots and history\u2026<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

This year\u2019s theme \u201cTenochtitlan\u201d reminds us of our cultural roots from the time before the arrival of the Spanish on our Aztec lands. This is an opportunity to celebrate 15 years of magical summer camps that have made so many children and young people happy.<\/p>\n

We can also add so many adults, because besides those who are involved in animation, there are many others who have supported us a great deal and make this magic possible.<\/p>\n

Thank you to the young animators who gave so much attention and affection to the children. During each camp, the two evenings around a campfire included activities for parents as well as children. The parents took part fully in the activities offered, just like the children, sharing the adventure and striving to create family ties, as well as ties with the other participants.<\/p>\n

Games and talents<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"\"

Dynamic camp experiences for both the children and the animators.<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Many wonder: \u00ab\u00a0But what do we learn at Noah\u2019s Ark? There are no activities to reinforce mathematics or correct spelling, and we only take advantage of the workshops to give the children time to simply play and put their talents to good use through activities encouraging creativity and sharing, through games and other various activities.<\/p>\n

Of course they learn! They learn through the attention and affection of the animators, from their way of being and behaving. Later, many of them will put all this into practice, when in turn they will become volunteer helpers at Noah\u2019s Ark.<\/p>\n

This year we had around 80 volunteer leaders. For the vast majority, it was their first time, but almost all have already been participants at the Ark and now give back what they have received.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Many new <\/em>volunteers <\/em>in the team <\/em>who had <\/em>previously<\/em> experienced the Ark as young participants<\/em>.<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

This year we had volunteer leaders as young as 14 years old. That\u2019s why someone said, \u201cThese are children who are looking after other children.\u201d We do not know whether this reflection was intended to make us, as adults, more conscious and\/or more responsible of the fact that we were entrusting children to other children who were simply more experienced.<\/p>\n

To give <\/strong>of one\u2019s <\/strong>best<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is certain is that all the young volunteers have been trained as facilitators. Most importantly, they have shown that they are available, dedicated and affectionate. Jesus said: \u201cLet the little children come to me, do not prevent them, for the kingdom of heaven is for those who are like them\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It is thanks to these children taking care of other children that this Ark has been such a wonderful success story, \u201calways giving the best of themselves\u201d, which has been the theme for this summer.<\/p>\n

“The best <\/em>thing <\/em>that we received as <\/em>volunteers – and it meant a great deal – <\/em>was the affection and the <\/em>smiles<\/em> of the children.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Alexandra Mendoza Berriel<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Volunteer and Assistant Director of Noah\u2019s Ark. 2022<\/p>\n

During Noah\u2019s Ark, the John Paul II Centre became a place full of <\/em>Life; life in <\/em>abundance. The Ark experience <\/em>allows <\/em>a little <\/em>bit <\/em>of the Kingdom <\/em>to come <\/em>to Huatusco, thanks to the Mennaisian charism.<\/em><\/p>\n
