July 8, 2009 HSF: Help Send a Child to Generation Joshua's Summer iGovern Leadership Camp! Dear Friends of Generation Joshua and the Home School Foundation, We know that many families are hurting right now. Whether they are suffering from the loss of a parent or because their primary breadwinner is out of work, many families are struggling to pay their bills, much less to afford summer camp. We are writing to ask you to help send a child in need to Generation Joshua's iGovern Summer Leadership Camp. Faith Meador, 15, (http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=6704 ) and her younger brother, Luke, (http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=6705 ) inherited their passion for politics and the American founding from their father. Thanks to Mr. Meador's encouragement, the siblings have dreamed of pursuing a future in law and politics and are already active advocates of justice as teen adjudicators in their state's peer court system. Unfortunately, the father who instilled in them the drive for civic action is unable to watch them realize their dreams. Mr. Meador died of leukemia in March 2008, leaving his children to carry on his legacy on their own. Young people like Luke and Faith would benefit tremendously from a week at Generation Joshua's iGovern Summer Leadership camps. Thankfully, Faith and Luke are being given the opportunity to attend iGovern through the generous contributions of members like you to Generation Joshua's Homeschool Foundation scholarship fund. This fund specifically ministers to orphans, children of widows and single parents, and children in need. Currently, far more children have submitted scholarship applications than Generation Joshua is able to fund. Countless young people have stories similar to the Meadors'. Not only do children of widows or single parents rely on gracious support to attend camps, but the recent economic malaise has made it even more difficult for other families to send their motivated children to camp. We cannot imagine anything more unfortunate than having to turn away a motivated and gifted young person who has genuine financial need. As camp season approaches in July and August, we are reiterating our appreciation for the Generation Joshua and HSLDA member families who have so graciously donated over the years and are asking you to prayerfully consider donating to the Widows and Orphans Fund. Four families each donating $100 would be enough to send one child to iGovern leadership camps. Sixteen families giving only $25 would have the same impact. Thank you for your faithfulness in giving to widows and orphans (James 1:27). To make a secure, tax deductible donation of any amount, you can visit the Generation Joshua website http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=6706 . You can also donate through the Home School Foundation http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=6707 by selecting the "Generation Joshua" fund from the drop-down menu. If you would like to donate via check, please make the check payable to the Home School Foundation and designate "Generation Joshua Camp Scholarship Fund" in the memorandum line. Please mail checks to the Home School Foundation, Attn: Generation Joshua Camp Scholarship Fund, PO Box 3000, Purcellville, VA 20134-9000. Thank you for your consideration. Your gift may change a child's life. Very truly yours, Charles Hurst Executive Director Home School Foundation ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Home School Foundation Report is a service of: Home School Foundation P.O.
