Supported by individuals and organizations in the U.S.\, the project grew out of TON’s children’s summer camp to produce the book\, From the Ground and Up. Through words\, photos\, and imaginative participation\, this interactive children’s book depicts how traumatized children discover their deep roots in the land\, the potential in their seeds\, how to create lives of strength and resiliency\, and how to work together to make a better world.  By inviting readers to share the campers’ experience\, it empowers campers and readers alike. \nTON’s mission is one of empowerment\, peace\, and justice. They act on their mission by refusing to be victims or enemies and practicing non-violent resistance. While the book was created primarily for readers of middle school age\, it conveys TON’s message to readers of all ages. \nFor more information on this organization\, visit https://tentofnations.com/programs-projects/. \nWrite checks either to “Trinity Las Americas” or “DMIEC” with “First Sunday” in the memo line.  \nCHECKS SHOULD BE PLACED IN THE November 10th COLLECTION BASKET OR MAILED TO : DMIEC\, P.O.
