1. Why do you participate with the Challenge Life Youth Foundation?

Challenge life is one of the few organizations that provide us with more of a choice in various types of activities we as children may be interested in. Like in any school, community or city the children are never alike… every child has different talents, love and interests of what they want to do. So far Challenge Life is one of the few organizations to conquer that task. Not only do they know the children’s needs and interests but they are very steady in coming into every village showing they are more than just a one time deal. This shows the kids their dedication to help improve lifestyles and provide life changing experience and opportunities. Challenge Life is very consistent in teaching the values and morals of everyday life while keeping kids fit.

1. What do you enjoy about the camps that are sponsored by Challenge Life?

The camps sponsored by Challenge Life are fun, challenging, and very helpful to the people of all ages who want to step up in life and learn to live healthy. It gives kids and parents an outlook of how important it is to live a healthy lifestyle by staying physically, mentally and spiritually fit. This occurs through different exercises and activities while continuously talking about drug and alcohol awareness. There are many camps and activities put on for kids and adults that have different interests. To help them succeed, Challenge life offers the inspiration and the right tools to bring or keep them on the right path. Through diversifying and keeping the camps and activities exciting, it brings in all the crowds of many ages to learn to live healthy lifestyles together.

3. Why should the community support organizations like Challenge Life?

Challenge life provides more than just support in living healthy. It opens eyes to what we can become if we choose to live healthy and learn to help and be apart of our community. For the people who participate and believe in living a healthy lifestyle, Challenge Life becomes a door opener to many great opportunities that this world can provide. As for me… I’ve been participating in all challenge life activities since high school and further by giving them the assistance they need to help make our communities a better place. Now here I am writing quotes for the ASRC newsletters and working with many different great organizations apart from Challenge Life to learn to live a long and healthy life while learning to help others do the same.
