Long day, but good day. We have just finished (midnight) with our multi cultural evening, all the countries represented here have given a short talk or presentation about their countries. We had food, drink, dance, songs and photos from across Europe. I have learnt that I am surrounded by some very proud people and rightly so. There are many things to be proud about across Europe. Beautiful places and beautiful people.
Today ran in much the same routine we have got used to, my group ran devotion this morning, asking people to think deeply about TRUST, PEACE, RECONCILIATION, LOVE, TRUTH and trying to think of 10 other ways of describing these words without using the original word.
Our presentations today included Soloman taking to us about YMCA Kassel University in Germany, Gerhard gave us a very interesting talk about his experiences of living in Palestine for 6 months. Vardan also gave us a short talk about YMCA peace work connecting people across the world.
