One World Youth Project
I checked out of the hotel at ten in the morning. It was my turn to go to the airport. On our way the Perfect Brothers brought me to the Cultural Heritage Center with its beautiful artifacts and arts and crafts. We also visited a mine were people mined the rock with hammers alone, back breaking work. Sadly, Abdu spoke about how many of the people who worked there had no future plan and where barely living within their means. It was another reminder of the different ways people all over the world struggle to survive, and why the work these kids are doing through the One World Youth Project is so important.
Finally at the aiport, I waited for a later than thought flight. It gave me plenty of time to reflect on my experiences and record those reflections in this journal. There are so many details I didn't write about, so many emotions I felt. These memories will stay with me forever and I will share everything with my family at the Cape Cod Lighthouse Charter School. We have an amazing sister school and I look forward to our continued partnership with the Perfect Youth Group, and strong commitment to OWYP.
Thank you to the One World Youth Project and the Cape Cod Lighthouse Charter School for allowing me this opportunity. Thank you to Jessica for all of her hard work, dedication, and friendship. Thank you Abdu, Joseph, Gloria and every member of the Perfect Youth Group at the Dr. Herman Wrice Community Center. You have all made my dream come true. It was perfect!
