COLUMBUS, Ohio â Gathered around the stage in the Westgate Community Recreation Centerâs auditorium, a dozen kids were asked to finish the sentence, âI can choose kindness by .â
Gracie Corbett, 9, wrote down several answers, including âhelp othersâ and âgive hugs to my mommy.â She was supposed to pick one to make into a bracelet with lettered beads and string.
The children at Westgate are among about 900 children in Columbus summer camps learning about local social issues and how they can help through the Kindness Corps, a program designed by Columbus service-based nonprofit Seeds of Caring. Brandy Jemczura, founder and executive director of Seeds of Caring, said she found a need for a program that reaches children where they are, which at this time of year is often their local summer camps.
