  Katherine Pena, GYV participant says
  “In these three weeks, I’ve participated in shows sharing my talents, such as dancing and stepping, and I’ve been on the receiving end, in the audience, viewing vivid shows from Indonesians and others, all the while learning about myself and others.

  Dan Brown, Maryland, U.S., participant & staff; high school English teacher says
  “I love everything about Legacy's Global Youth Village. I love the food, that I sleep soundly, meeting new people, seeing old friends. The exchange and interaction among the staff and the participants is one of the best parts. Learning about other cultures, life styles, perspectives, personal experiences; just sharing with people and embracing common values like tolerance and understanding, all these things are part of the experience. I’ve learned that humanity is even more beautiful than I once thought that there are similarities and aspects that are common to all of us, yet the wondrous diversity of the world allows for so much variety of exchange and learning. I’d say the most beautiful thing to witness at Legacy is to see how the participants grow in just three weeks; to see the friendships form, problems arise and be solved; to see the change in how a young person perceives his or herself. It’s easy for me to recognize because of my own experience as a participant in 1997.”
