Why do we cover all these costs for interpreters?

The Americans are volunteers to this mission. Our Ukrainian friends (interpreters) often give their unpaid time-off to help the children in their country to have this important experience. They, too, believe in the power of this work and the effect it has on their country. There have been several Ukrainian teammates who have left jobs when not allowed time off, hoping to gain new jobs after camp. Their dedication is a humbling inspiration.
