JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A local nonprofit is making a difference in the lives of some local children who are new immigrants to the U.S.

They're holding a special summer camp to help them adjust to life in their new country. And at the same time, these children are learning baby-sitting skills to help them better take care of their siblings and help their families out.

All of the children attending the Lutheran Social Services summer camp have been in the country for less than a year. They're refugees, coming from places like Burundi, Iraq and Burma. The camp is preparing them for life as an American.
