Youth International

Getting a chance to work, sing, dance and laugh with the villagers gave me the opportunity to learn so much more than I could have from a book.....I feel that because of this trip my future is wide open. I have a newly found confidence in myself and the exhilarating feeling that I can go to any country in the world.

I found myself in places doing things that I could have hardly imagined back in the US.

.....the trek really showed me what I was capable of .....I amazed myself by doing it and accepting it and not being bothered by the struggle.

I have learned from the experience how to live with mindfulness and how to be more patient and compassionate.

.....through community service projects, Ive gotten to know not only the people of that country, but Ive also discovered new things about my teammates. I watched people teach classes, lay cement floors, dance, play basketball and volleyball with neighborhood kids, and design and paint an amazing mural. It was great to see peoples creative talents emerge while assisting and getting to know the community.

Traveling with a team provides a strong support group. This allows you to focus your energy on learning about where you are and about yourself.

I would recommend Youth International to anyone who is perfectly capable of having fun, because theyll have tons of it!

I recommend this program to anyone with an adventurous spirit, a thirst for knowledge and a hunger to be challenged beyond presumed limits.....there is no better, safer or wiser way to experience the world.
