Ukraine baby! part two :)

I cant  believe its wednesday already!! im having an absoloute blast, really dont want to go home!! ive met some amazing, passionate, inspirational people in the few days ive been here, really do feel like the luckiest girl in the world right now, thankyou ymca!!!! :)
 and now for the serious stuff! my experience so far has been amazing and ive learnt so much. Finding out how different ymcas work and how they overcome different issues is fascinating. plus learning about how diverse the ymca actually is is just amazing, hearing about the different projects that everybody has done is brilliant and im going to take some awesome ideas home with me!
 im also finding this whole experience quite humbling. hearing about everybodys individual experiences with the ymca makes you wonder if that little bit of funding that was taken away really matters, especially in comparison to ymcas who recieve little or no funding!
 I think i'll leave it at that for now, shall post another blog in a few days :) also apologies for any spelling or grammer mistakes, my phone is playing up a bit so i cant actually see what ive done wrong!!
 peace and love guys, beth xx

    Bethany, it sounds like you are experiencing what many others from Bolton have learned before you, you are a fortunate young woman who has made the choice to engage with the YMCA. I know you are committed to seeing young people grow and develop and it is interesting to hear your comments about reduction of funding in England and how others succeed on much less. Perhaps there is a lesson in there for all of us. Thank you.

    Dear Beth,

    Just reading your passion and joy makes me think of my first International conference. Just to echo what Ken said its great to see young leaders who have been around for years step into the International world. Don't for one minute think this is the end, this really is the beginning... i'd love to further debate the funding issue you raised as i guess many readers will. So proud of you

    Great blog Beth! Sounds like a belter of a trip. You meet some wonderful people through these trips. I met 40+ of them just in Manchester. I think Prague will really open your eyes (and all the others from Bolton) as to how magical the YMCA truely is. Keep it up & keep keen

    Beth, really good you're raising the funding issue here. Perhaps raise it in debates too. :-)
