Abundant Life Ministries  500 Peachtree Street   Rocky Mount, NC 27804   P. O. Box 134   Red Oak, North Carolina 27866  (252) 557-1333 alm@abundantlm.org Summer Camp 2012 June 15-August 10 8am-5pm M-F Free breakfast, lunch, & snack daily! Devotions, camp songs, academic activities, games, arts & crafts, free weekly field trips, and much more! ==I chose to do my Community Internship at //Abundant Life Ministries// because I believe in the African proverb, "//It takes a village to raise a child//". Like me, many of my students come from single parent households where the church is the cornerstone of the community. When the traditional family unit is not intact, parents, grandparents, community leaders, teachers, pastors, mentors, and church members must join together to meet the nonacademic needs of students before any sustainable learning can take place. We must educate the whole child--academically, socially, and emotionally. I believe that forging partnerships with churches in the community is vital to the success of the student population in the rural communities of North Eastern North Carolina.==
