We are excited to announce the publication of our Annual Report for the 2019-2020 fiscal year. Please click here to read the report.
For LAJF, the 2019-2020 fiscal year was full of surprises, innovations, and new opportunities in the face of the COVID-19 global pandemic and its impact. With no in-person Camp Rising Sun program over the summer and international travel being suspended throughout most of the world, the LAJF staff were hard at work reorganizing, restrategizing, and reimagining how to fulfill our mission.

Day 7:
So, today we began with an activity that was actually pretty fun. By the way, yes, I am aware that today is Independence Day and a holiday in the US, where this camp takes place, but since we don’t really celebrate, the holiday, at least in the context of this blog, is kind of irrelevant. Now that I’ve addressed that, I should get back to describing Day 7 of camp. For this activity, we were given a statement and a spectrum that stretched from yes to no. We then placed our names on the spectrum depending on how much we agreed with the statement. This was really helpful because you could see what the range was like instead of just getting yes or no answers. I really appreciated that the activity let us see the world in shades of gray, instead of just black and white.
