  Shannon Eddy, USA says
  ““I was so impressed by their strength to persevere. It is inspiring to see people remain positive and hopeful in the face of such adversity. The challenges that face me in life no longer seem so daunting and I am prepared to face them with the same attitude and persistency I saw in my Iraqi friends.”

  Jaimee Braun, Washington, U.S.; Educator, conflict resolution trainer, ESOL instructor says
  “I am impressed by the mission and the scope of Legacy’s work. There is such a tremendous outlook and impact on the people worked with, and I am glad to be a part of it. Most importantly, is the impact on the youth at the Global Youth Village. The knowledge the participants gain and the transformation they go through in such a short time is intense and impressive. My experience working with that age group had been primarily with international youth, and the U.S. participants at the GYV re-opened my eyes to the pressures and influences they face on a daily basis. They are so impressionable at that age, and education is key to creating a more peaceful society. I loved being a part of that.”
