“Kalam” means “dream” in Hebrew. We named the camp “Kalam” in the wish that our next generation’s dream would be restored through the project. Once our children’s dream is being restored, they may grow to become the leaders of tomorrow throughout the world. Kalam wishes to be the vehicle to equip such leaders. The world we live in is rapidly changing. Day by day it is becoming a “global village”. We need to have the next generation ready for this new ever-changing world. One of the ways to prepare our children would be by giving them a chance to encounter and have fellowship with good people. Our children need good friends, not just in the limited place they currently live in, but in a new, broader environment. Through the new relationship, they can widen their horizon and learn the things that are new. They can build up their true identity and broaden their perspective.

In order to be a globally-competitive individual, acquiring a new language is one of the most basic, yet important steps to take. Undoutedly, today’s most versatile and sought-after language is English. Based on the effective English teaching experience for the last 16 years, Kalam USA is opening a fresh new chapter of the project. Until last year, Kalam staff went to the students throughout the world. This year, Kalam is inviting students to come to the USA! Here in beautiful Southern California, where Kalam headquater is located, tomorrow’s young leaders will be encouraged to make new friends and create a meaningful community. They will experience a new, bigger world. We hope and pray that you will provide your children the opportunity to join Kalam USA so that they will come, dream, and be equipped as the next generation leaders. God bless you all!
