Getting a Global Vision

July 2006

Highlights:

Second team to Bulgaria
Due to the success of the first team to Bulgaria a second trip was planned. After the break dancers returned it was necessary to send some back again to maintain the break dance that had been started and to build a team. Two youth leaders were able to go to Bulgaria for 6 weeks to help continue this work. There are plans in the future to keep partnering with other organizations in Bulgaria to learn from them and to give them the things we have learnt.

Two teams to the Ukraine
6 Youth leaders had the chance to travel and visit the Ukraine. The trips turned out to be a great time. The first team of youth leaders traveled to Kiev to visit other youth works in the city. To see how others are working with young people and to learn from them. For many it was their first time ever abroad and the whole experience was like an education. New friends were made and relationships formed. The second team attended a youth camp outside of Kiev where they were leading teams of youth for a week. The camp was held in the forest and was a very busy and effective time. Both teams learnt a lot from these trips as their world view grew. There are now plans for other teams to travel again so they can learn more and inspire more young people at home to travel to increase their potential and abilities.
