What a week it was!

Reflecting on the last paragraph of a blog post from the Secretary General of the World Alliance of YMCAs after a week long meeting in YMCA Dunford House in England earlier this year.

'And in the late evening Surinam was dancing Salsa with Bangladesh and Argentina was dancing Tango with Ghana while the Netherlands were drinking tea in the corner together with Togo and Peru and Sierra Leone was putting logs on the open fire place for France, Germany and Brazil to feel warmer. Gaza and East Jerusalem took a torch to walk in the dark forest as South Africa and Denmark were discussing fair share with Sweden and India and Pakistan. And still some of the nationalities had gone early to bed in the silent night in the country side of England and slept the sleep of the just under the shining stars of hope and joy. What a week it was!'
