Fambul Camp 2008 rocked!! We are back from Camp! And, in the words of our youths, "Fambul Camp 2008 rocked!" First and foremost, special THANKS to our donors and sponsors for making this year's three day camp possible for 51 campers, and to Manhattanville College for donating their space and hosting us. "Djembeh" roll for our workshop leaders who designed workshops around our theme of "Building Community Starts with Me."
