“It’s over!”, the Youth Level 1 has ended and everybody loved it !

“An experience you should not miss”, said many.

Playing, laughing, joking! Throwing water at each other and then running to make it on time for the lesson all wet from head to toes. Nothing similar has ever been seen in previous courses! They were bursting with such joy while playing with water… A joy which is difficult to explain in words!

A few of them had expectations of what could be expected from the course but none of them had any idea of how surprising it was going to be and what this experience could give them. Most of them had only heard things about the adult courses from friends, parents, relatives but this course was so different!! The youth courses deal with topics specific for their needs and are conducted, presented and structured in such a different way from the adult courses that they could never have guessed what it would be like!!

“It has been an adventure !” “ I did not expect anything like this!” “Awesome!” These are just a few of the comments.

They arrived with many fears, lots of hidden emotions, many feelings only half experienced, all abandoned in a corner of their hearts. All of this has come to surface with the course. Whoever may have been oppressed by these thoughts before the course is now free of this oppression!

Who before felt sad, not able to see further than his own dilemma, is now flying, moving between serenity, calmness and the ability of observing things as they are.

Even the 5 helpers described the experience as incredibly inspiring:

“It has been organized in an amazing way! The teachings are oriented towards the challenges of someone that has a future to built, from a very practical point of view and not just theoretic.”

“Slowly the guides are understanding the west: being here they understand better our world and all its issues”, they comment with a smile! Everything ended in a great party, with music and improvised performances from the participants along with the staff.

Besides the great teachings received, the youth had the opportunity to practice English, that was used almost by everyone even if it was not their mother tongue and only could share the essential! Incredible how in 1 week life can change adding value to what we have in our hands without knowing it!

We leave the last words to our participants: “ Everything is full of energy here, its amazing ! When you have fun time seem to fly!”.
