JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A local nonprofit is making a difference in the lives of some local children who are new immigrants to the U.S.
They're holding a special summer camp to help them adjust to life in their new country. And at the same time, these children are learning baby-sitting skills to help them better take care of their siblings and help their families out.
All of the children attending the Lutheran Social Services summer camp have been in the country for less than a year. They're refugees, coming from places like Burundi, Iraq and Burma. The camp is preparing them for life as an American.

Hi, I just want to let every person that is getting set up with work in the USA know about a brilliant deal on international calls that I used when I was working in a summer camp recently. I knew I would be making alot of international calls, so I went to Wallmart and found a great deal! I got a really great motorola w376 phone for $29 from tracfone and there are over 100 countries that can be called from a tracfone for the same rate as a local call ie 1 airtime minute per minute called. Check out the list of countries.

It was a great and convenient way to keep in contact with friends in the UK etc! I loved my little tracphone! Get your hands on one if you're gonna be working in the states and want to keep in touch with family and friends. I think you can also get them from tracfone.com
