We are a vibrant and energetic group of youth advocates from the United States of America. In February, we will be going to South Africa to engage in a cultural exchange as a way to share some of our training skills with youth organizations in South Africa, learn how to approach youth empowerment initiatives with a global perspective, and bring new skills and perspectives back to the communities we are involved in. This is our team and this is our journey.

And the Gratitude keeps on coming
Its evident that traveling changes and humbles your perspective.
It's been three days, but I've seen an immediate shift in my dealings
with others. I have had an increase to talk with those around me and
learn of their lives, who they are, and what their challenges and
aspirations are. There is a lack of fear and in its place solidarity and
confidence have arisen with respect to engaging in my community. I
don't know what particular event propelled me to feel this way, but it
happened under the experience of travel, that is for sure. There is
something enigmatic that occurs after one comes back form travel- for
me, its the explication of humility and solidarity. I hold group travel
with the utmost of respect!
