  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.”
