In our community, there is a boy named Chai. He is 13 years old and full of energy, but most of his daily life is spent on his phone. Over time, this has affected his physical health, leaving him easily tired and less active, and it has also affected his confidence and ability to interact with others. He finds it difficult to work in a team, handle challenges, or deal with failure in a healthy way.
If this is not addressed, many children like Chai may continue to grow up with limited physical activity and reduced social connection, which can impact both their health and their emotional development. Parents also begin to worry as they see their children spending more time online than engaging in real-world relationships and movement.
To respond to this, our church wants to expand a sports camp that gives children like Chai a safe and active environment where they can step away from screens and engage with others. Through sports activities, teamwork games, and guided reflection, children will learn how to work together, face challenges, and rebuild confidence in their own abilities. We also want to help them experience movement as something joyful and meaningful, helping them reconnect with others and understand themselves as part of God’s creation.
