(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioners recently organized a very special summer camp for young practitioners: a computer camp for internet truth clarification. This program received a warm welcome from families. Every year, the computer camp registration was full because the students can learn computer skills in the camp and the parents believe this can teach the children to make good use of the computer to send truth-clarifying materials to China through the Internet.

The camp first introduced good websites for truth-clarification such as minghui.ca, Dajiyuan.com, and how to use internet chat software. Nowadays, there is a lot of bad information on the Internet and many people indulge in computer games and pornographic websites. There are also many traps on the Internet and ill-willed people in chat rooms to tempt the young. Guiding the children to visit good websites and talking about healthy topics can help them reject temptations and have broader knowledge.

Clarifying the truth to Mainland Chinese in chat room.

The teacher of the camp also teaches computer classes in an elementary school. She said the young Falun Gong practitioners are more active in learning and more patient. Last year, the first computer camp was held in Taipei and the outcome was very positive. During the winter vacation, the Family Internet Truth Clarification Computer Camp's registered attendees reached the full capacity. This summer vacation, many families reserved the space ahead of time. There are two main reasons that made the computer camp so popular. First, the course is interesting and rich. Second, the young practitioners understand the importance of clarifying the truth of Falun Gong.

During the camp, the young practitioners showed their strength of mind. For a whole day, they clarified truth to the Mainland Chinese and nobody complained that they were tired. Here are a few stories.

Young practitioner Ting met a Mainland Chinese man in the chat room who was deceived by the Communist Party's propaganda and had lots of negative impressions about Falun Gong. Ting was very worried about him so she sent him pictures of Falun Gong spreading throughout the world one after another. In the end, the man said in surprise, "I believe you. Falun Dafa is good." Ting told him to tell other people the truth. The man replied that there were about seven or eight people behind him at the computer and they all learned the truth. Little Ting was happy that she helped someone learned the truth of Dafa and she wrote an experience sharing article about clarifying the truth on the Internet.

Some young practitioners shared their own experiences of practicing Falun Dafa to the people from Mainland Chinese they met in the chat rooms. The Chinese chat room "friends" listened carefully. Some practitioners sent over the news that has been blocked by Communist Party's Internet firewall. One young practitioner sent an article about the Communist Party's evil nature and the recipient said it was a great article. Seeing that Mainland Chinese were so eager to see news from outside, the young practitioners kept sending materials to China until the class was over. Many Chinese want to learn more about Falun Gong or know more news that has been blocked by the CCP, so they didn't want to leave the chat room. One friend even talked to a young practitioner for four hours. Another young practitioner clarified the truth to seven people at the same time.

After the program was finished, all participants said that too many Mainland Chinese were deceived by the Communist Party's lies and a lot of information was blocked. They said they would do more truth clarification to Mainland Chinese on the Internet after going home.
