2013 Annual Report | 3 Bringing Brothers and Sisters Together

ibling bonds are among life’s most enduring connections — outlasting our relationships with our parents and sometimes even our marriages. Our relationships with our Sbrothers and sisters are inextricably intertwined with our sense of identity and belonging. Yet 75 percent of all foster children are separated from their siblings because most foster families don’t have the room or the resources to care for sibling groups. It is often the last, and most devastating, loss for children who have already been separated from their parents, their home, their school and their community. To help mend these broken sibling bonds, Hephzibah founded Camp 63 HepSIBah in 2003. Every summer since then, brothers and sisters living in different Number of foster homes have reunited at this rustic woodland camp in northern Illinois to siblings reunited at create shared childhood memories that will last a lifetime. Hephzibah’s Summer In Summer 2012, 63 campers in 17 sibling groups enjoyed a week of 2012 Sibling Camp camp experiences such as canoeing, archery, rock climbing, gathering around the One Book campfire for songs and s’mores and cookouts manned by corporate volunteers from McDonald’s. But often it was the unstructured time that had the most meaning. Each day, the children were able One Hephzibah to experience shared moments that most siblings take for granted, such as waking up and having breakfast together, sharing their thoughts and feelings while walking in the woods and ending the day with whispered good education is the foundation for a successful and conversations and stifled laughter when the lights went out at bedtime. fulfilling life. Yet many children in substitute care lag far behind We are grateful to the Lerner Family Foundation for making it possible for these separated siblings their peers academically. to reconnect and form deep emotional bonds that will support and sustain them throughout their lives. A By the 10th or 11th grade, the average foster child is reading at a seventh-grade level. Because reading fluency is strongly correlated with Sibling Camp 2012 scholastic achievement, deficits in this area can seriously compromise a child’s academic performance. Of all of the problems that plague foster children, poor academic performance may have the most crippling effect on their long-term success and well-being. to help close this achievement gap and foster a love of reading in the children living in our group and foster homes, Hephzibah launched One Book, One Hephzibah at the end of the fiscal year. The summer- long reading program combined weekly book selections with themed weekly activities, recreational outings and special guest presentations. Even the children in our Day Care program joined in, reading along with the Day Care staff and participating in related activities and field trips. week One kicked off on June 3 with the children’s book, B is for Buckaroo: A Cowboy Alphabet, a visit from a real singing cowboy and a field trip to a horse farm. Judging from the enthusiastic participation of the children, reading was no longer a solitary struggle, but a lot of fun!

Fees for the program were assessed on a sliding scale and offset by financial aid when necessary to ensure that children from

Druley, the director of administration and information technology for the Health Service at Northwestern University, coordinated a donation of computers and a server from his own department and Northwestern’s Student Affairs Information Technology department. Stark, an institutional technology coordinator at Robert Morris University, arranged for another donation of computers from her employer. By June 2013, the technology room was up and running. Druley and Stark and their growing team of Technology Mentors continue to volunteer every Saturday to teach technology to the kids, whose tech skills have really taken off. thanks to these committed benefactors and volunteers, the children at Hephzibah Home are now tech-savvy citizens of the digital age.
