Aug.7 After a nice meal in the morning, we started the visit to the Recycling Plant. All of us were very curious about how the “Super Sol” is made. Although it was really hot both inside and outside of the factory, we asked a lot of questions and learnt a lot. In the afternoon, what impressed me most was the final presentation of last year. The performance given by the youth leaders was just AMAZING. They moved us via nice acting as well as passionate speeches and movements. I lived with those youth leaders for the 7 days,and great changes have taken place in me. I learnt how to be an … Continue reading →

Aug.14 The clock ticked 8:00 AM and it marked a promising day ahead. As my eyes opened to unfold a brand new day, I realized that I was not in any youth center this time. The first sight I saw included dolls, paintings, and grand hanging decorations made of shells. I was in our admirable host home. In the morning, we had a small tour around the different significant spots in Iejima Island. In the afternoon, we decorated picture frames using shells and colored sand, made key chains, climbed to the peak of the only mountain in Iejima, bathed in a white sand beach, helped in carpentry care, and went … Continue reading →

It was very heart warming to see all of our fun moments in one video. With that we ended AYDPO 2013. After that we had a lecture about the brain. I agree that different people have different perspectives and we should learn to accept them. Soon, when the night came, our free time came as well. I had a lot of fun shopping. We had one last dinner together. It was really our last time … Continue reading →
