TAFARI GENESIS
RETREAT CAMP
West Africa
Tafari : (Hamaric) to be feared, revered. Genesis : creation beginning.
Children with life-threatening conditions are forced to grow up too fast.
We particularly choose children whose lives have been affected by civil wars, or suffers chronic life threatening illnesses such as Sickle Cell Anemia, Diabetes, Asthma, Aids, etc. all of which can be a death sentence in Africa and Haiti.
We provide counseling, and teach various coping and meditation techniques to deal with physical pain crisis. We address their needs at home, and follow up on their progress.
We educate them and their families about simple steps to help prevent Malaria, which kills more children than Aids, and support the existing mosquito net programs which provides low cost or free nets to mothers. A child with an existing life threatening illness has little chance to survive once they get malaria. Many mothers must make the choice of food, medicine or mosquito nets. We don’t think they should have to make such a choice.

A Sanctuary For Children
Tafari - Genesis Retreat Camp is a Sanctuary for Children. We hope to bring joy and a sense of peace and pride to the children through various activities, such as the “get to know Africa” program.
We take groups of children on retreat, where they are the stars, free to simply run and play, or learn African glass beading, mix media arts, computer skills and more.
We are passionate about introducing them to the immense beauty and history of Africa. Many African children dream only of Europe or America and never learn about the vast beauty and great history of their homeland, because all they know is pain, suffering and death. We aim to heal the precious souls of the children. We provide a safe place where they are allowed to just be children and not think about adult duties or conflicts, or death, even if just for a short time. We strive to give them good memories to last a lifetime.
It should not hurt to be a child.
We are working towards building a permanent structure by the ocean, that will be large enough to hold more children. The camp will have a 24 hours medical area, a spa / massage area set in a beautifull "secret garden".
We want the children to enjoy themselves in a safe, serene, outdoor environment and just play like kids again without worries.
