    Beautiful chat, powerful story from Tommy and fair play to him for opening up. Great young lad such an inspiration to others. It's good for people to write down emotions as it does help healing. Giving people hope is such a huge gift and at times we feel guilty we may have left someone down, but we can't carry guilt for someone ending their life as we don't hold ultimate power. As long as we do our best. Lots of best wishes to all of ye and everyone out there.

    At the risk of sounding negative about the project, which I'm certainly not, I have an issue with the overt religious aspects of this, I have no problem with a persons religious beliefs but I have deep concerns when it involves young people and camp situations. for obvious reasons from this country's history and the history of many other countries.
