Global Kids' Digital Media Initiative

Finally, after lots of hard work; the Camp GK Maze opened for everyone! Mercury and all the campers worked very hard to make this work, and now it's up and running! The maze turned out great, and I think many teens were impressed. One of the teens that came to visit was Jackson Widget. He said the following about the maze;

"The Maze was an amazing experience. I learned SOO much by just taking a simple, yet fun stroll through. Camp Global Kids definitely delivered, delivered above all expectations." (Yes, He gave me permission to post this quote).

We had a visit from Claudia Linden when we first opened, and she helped us resolve some issues =). Below is a pic of Claudia, me, Jackson and Mashew Cheeky:

I was given a nice idea for the blog by, none other than (drumroll): Rafi. I followed two teens through the maze and then asked them a few questions. First one to complete the maze was Ming Chen (Then followed by Heather Quasimodo a few seconds later!!)

Here's Ming Chen's Interview:

Ming Chen: Neat maze xD
Lucky Figtree: Thanks! What did you like the most?
Ming Chen: I liked the signs. it shows the emotion of how it is a real problem
Lucky Figtree: =) Was there anything you didn't like?
Ming Chen: the trick blocks >_<
Lucky Figtree: Haha!
Ming Chen: where you answer it to find a dead end
Lucky Figtree: What do you think the TG can do, to help this cause?
Ming Chen: can invest into the cause to express that we want the problem solved even if we dont have to endure the torture they must go through everyday
Lucky Figtree: How important is this cause in today's world?
Ming Chen: it is a good foundation to gain more support in the future.. it will take time for the organization against sex trafficking to gain enough support... but sooner or later it will make a huge difference
Lucky Figtree: Thanks =) Do you give me permission to use this in my blog for www.holymeatballs.org?
Ming Chen: sure

Heather Quasimodo: i thought it was a great idea, =]
Heather Quasimodo: i found it amusing
Lucky Figtree: Was there anything you liked/didn't like about the maze?
Heather Quasimodo: nope i think that it was a pretty good maze
Lucky Figtree: Thats great!
Lucky Figtree: What else would you suggest the TG can do to help this cause?
Heather Quasimodo: well i know if you keep this up more people will know about it and want to donate
Lucky Figtree: And how important do you think this cause is; In today's world?
Heather Quasimodo: i've seen the donation box around but i didn't know if it was a scam or not, but now that i see global kids is supporting it, and they are an organization, i know they won't scam so i'm not scared to donate =]
Heather Quasimodo: i think it's really important. because these kids are the next generation, and the world can't survive when they are forced to do these things
Lucky Figtree: Great! Thanks ! And do you give me permission to use this in my blog for www.holymeatballs.org?

As you can see, the teens had a lot to say and were really thoughtful about the issue. That's what we were going for, yay!
