COFFEE - Ethiopian Heritage Camp (Adoption Mosaic training)
The C.O.F.F.E.E. Camp Mission:
TO HELP NURTURE WITHIN OUR ADOPTIVE CHILDREN A GROUNDED SENSE OF SELF BY CONNECTING COMMUNITIES, CELEBRATING FAMILY THROUGH ADOPTION, AND ENCOURAGING AND EXPLORING ETHIOPIAN CULTURE AND HERITAGE WITH OTHER ADOPTIVE KIDS AND ETHIOPIAN AMERICANS.
(C.O.F.F.E.E., an acronym for Central Oregon Friends and Families of Ethiopian Ethnicity, was founded by a Bend family who adopted twin boys from Ethiopia back in 2008. We are a growing, eclectic group of families striving to raise strong, proud Ethiopian children, and we hope this camp brings a rich experience to ALL participants, forges new friendships, and creates lasting memories! We hope you can join us!)
