RC2WG6ATKQMK As visitors' coins splash into Rome's majestic Trevi Fountain carrying wishes for love, good health or a return to the Eternal City, they provide practical help to people the tourists will never meet. For hundreds of years, when in Rome, visitors have flocked to the fountain to make a wish, following a storied ritual. Few gave their coins a second thought. Today, coins pile up for several days before they are fished out and taken to the Rome division of the worldwide Catholic charity Caritas, which counts the bucketfuls of change and uses them to fund a food bank, soup kitchen and welfare projects. In 2022 Caritas collected 1.4 million euros (1.52 million USD) from the fountain and it expects to have gathered even more in 2023. Rome is one of the world's most visited cities with 21 million tourists. REUTERS/Guglielmo Mangiapane SEARCH "MANGIAPANE FOUNTAIN COINS" FOR THIS STORY. SEARCH "WIDER IMAGE" FOR ALL STORIES.

GM1E86R03FQ02 Zeke Andreassen, 11, (L) and Michael Watson, 12, cook soup in the kitchen of the Vermont Kids Culinary Academy during a residential cooking summer camp in Highgate, Vermont June 19, 2012. From high-wire walking to plankton propagation to posture lessons, summer camps are offering an increasingly diverse range of activities compared to the canoe trips, swim lessons and marshmallow-roasting of yore. The popularity of alternative camps is helping fuel growth amongst the estimated 12,000 summer camps in the United States. Despite the stagnant economy, revenues at day camps grew by 23 percent between 2008 and last year and by 7 percent at sleepaway camps, according to the American Camp Association, which says the 2,400 organized camps it accredits have combined annual revenues of $2.8 billion.
