Building Resilient Lives: New Zealand Health Camps
Rose, Kirsten
Reclaiming Children and Youth, v18 n1 p24-30 2009
Sometimes it takes a child to raise a whole village. Young people have the gifts and talents to raise their villages. They lack only the confidence of their villages in them to do it. At Te Puna Whaiora Children's Health Camps in New Zealand, the approach to helping families reach their potential is radically changing the lives of many children and providing innovative solutions for its most vulnerable and troubled children. This is their story--a story of courage, of resiliency, of innovation.
