Hey - sorry to have been out of pocket so long. I've been preparing for our big launch at Lycee. The week started with the kick off party for after school clubs - it was so exciting to see everything that would happen in the coming year. The students displayed their many talents in singing, dancing, and drama. It was really a great event. Two days later YAN officially launch and began accepting applications. We had over 200 applicants - each filled out a survey and created an essay about the issues in their community and what they think should be done to fix them. I've been sorting through this data - picking out the right students for the program. Students will be judged on their needs as well as their active participation in their communities. I'm really excited to share these pictures with you!
