“My project was to go to the Akha Youth Development Center and have a one-day simple skills and English camp. I understand the pain of growing up as an orphan and it is harder when you’re going through teenagehood. While growing up living alone in various cultures, I’ve learned many lessons through my mistakes and experiences. Therefore I wanted the share with them something that will aid them if they apply it. I also wanted to let them express themselves and have fun. The best part is that my volunteers and I also got to exchange and learn something from them too.” — Marisa, Gr. 12
