Great. In addition I suggest to ask one kid or maybe a few who already
participated to tell their story in a short write-up. Takes the barriers
down a notch. It could start out like "When I took my assignment, at
first I almost wetted my pants. But then ...", followed by the success
story. This is one method churches use to encourage people for mission
work. Most destinations are a bit hostile so there is some fear factor
to overcome. Same with projects like this that look daunting to younger
people.
