Kids Affected By The Oil Spill

In Florida, they are starting free mental health camps paid for by private donations and state funds for children in Kindergarten through the 6th grade that have been affected by the oil spill. While there they are able to talk in groups or in one-on-one meetings about their feelings on this problem. To get a better insight I'll leave a link to the website.

I believe this is a great idea for the younger kids who don't know exactly what's going on or as to why they can't do certain things anymore. For instance one of the girls can't go fishing with her dad like they did every year. I think this is a great way to show that we as a nation really do care, because we don't always show it with our ways.
