Jasmine Fry Peace Posse ~ Young Adult Scholarship Fund
Jasmine Fry, whom the Fund is dedicated to, daughter of Durga Heather Winfrey, Jazzy – as her friends called her, came as a child many times to Sufi camps on Maui.
She reconnected with the Ruhaniat Sufis in her late teens, traveled to Mendocino Youth Retreat, and became impassioned about youth camps happening in the Hawaiian Islands, knowing that youths could benefit so much from the depth of experience in practice and in kinship that she had experienced……….
A short time later, her life in the body, was taken from her. We deeply honor her intention to “make it happen”, which added to Sufis Hawaii’s inspiration to manifest the youth fund for our Maui Camps.
Terms of Scholarship
If you are aged 18-29, willing and able to participate in the work-trade program, as well as daily youth circles and camp programs in general, for the full 8 days of camp, you may apply for a scholarship.
As young adults on scholarship & work trade, you are required to:
Arrive at camp between noon and 1pm on Thursday, May 10th, to help with camp set up, you will work for about 6 hours this day.
Once camp starts, you’ll work a regular work trade shift, of about 3 hours a day, most likely in the kitchen, either helping prepare meals, or with clean up.
On the last Friday of camp, May 18th, we ask you to help with the final cleanup and pack up. This is a pretty full day of work, with the hopes of being done by 2pm.
If for any reason you can not commit to working with us for the full 8 days, please ask for specific exceptions from the scholarship committee and make appropriate arrangements with our Work Trade Goddess, Christina.
