2024 Camporee Offering
Silent Warriors - Deaf School Dormitory in India
Child Impact International is a Seventh-day Adventist non-profit organization that serves vulnerable children around the world. Their mission is to empower these children through education and fight to eradicate exploitation.
​
One of Child Impact's partner schools is the Seventh-day Adventist School for Speech and Hearing Impaired in Kollegal, India. It was the first Adventist school established for hearing-impaired students. Now, it is home to over 100 students. In their villages, these students were once looked down upon due to their disability, but now they are excelling in school. All of the students and staff are involved in Pathfinders. Their club, started over a decade ago, is called the Silent Warriors. Every Sabbath, they pack 20-30 lunches and distribute them to the homeless in the area. The Silent Warriors love serving their community.
​
The school currently has one building which includes housing and classrooms. Recently, the government made a change, and the school is no longer able to have male and female students stay in the same building. The school has started construction on a new dormitory, and their plan is to convert part of the current building into more classrooms. Child Impact is raising funds to support this building project. The new dormitory will have a capacity for 100 students, and with the new classrooms, the school and Silent Warriors Pathfinder club will be able to grow and thrive in the future. The 2024 Camporee's Sabbath offering will be going to the dormitory building project.
