My final days at YSI were actually, surprisingly great. I finally graduated from filing and internet to research to almost actual work! Well, I was able to sit in on an advocates meeting. This is basically a group of 20 students from ages 15 to 19 who were past participants in the YSI program. They are now coming back to complete another YSI project in Human Rights and also to enhance the program to new comers. The meeting was fantastic and held on December 10 - International Human Rights Day. We began with a short video on Human Rights that was actaully inspiring created by kids for kids. Then there was a speaker from Amnesty International who gave a brief powerpoint on the legality of Human Rights. Did you know we have a right to be educated on Human Rights?
After we had lunch we had an amazing presentation by Lucca Leadership. Robert Mulhall the CEO of Lucca who cannot be older than 28, and extremely good looking, gave an inspiring presentation of leadership that at first seemed a little strange, but I must say was one of the best I have ever seen. Overall, it was a great day!
Then the following day was the Christmas Party or as it's known here a Kris Kindle! Much fun, filled with food and friends and drink! We had a Secret Santa gift exchange and shared stories of Holiday cheer. It made me long to be home and decorate my tree and wrap presents.
All in all, YSI was a great experience. It was great fun and a great experience.
