In Their Own Words

SA IYC for portlet

“The International Youth Corps trip to Israel was a life changing experience, and I am still unpacking the extent to which it inspired me to wholly apply myself for the realization of the hopes and dreams of my people. Everything I learnt on the trip was of uniform importance to my aspirations for a better Kenya and a better world.”

- Katra Sambili, Kenya

 

“The idea of creating a social net of activists from all around the world was powerful and exciting for me. I feel that the participation in the IYC gives me the strength to be a person who maintains ideas that hopefully will give hope to the people in the Middle East in particular, and all over the world in general.”

- Nitzan Pogrund, Israel

 

“The greatest thing I learned is that we all, no matter where you come from, have the same capability to learn about and improve the lives of not only ourselves but each other as well.  I also learned that positive interaction between different groups of people is the only way to break down the social and cultural barriers that are the root causes of the inequalities that the world suffers from today.”

- Mahar Cooke, USA
