This was such an AWESOME experience. Much thanks to the YA Team , for your patience, encouragement and providing a fun, safe space for us to meet from different countries and converse.
Thank you all all those exercises that encourage me to be  introspective. Thank you for endorsing that I can do awesome things and for awakening the HERO in me!
This is an open invitation, if any of you make a trip to Trinidad and Tobago please message me, I promise to be at the airport with my steel pan and doubles!

To Chris, Sami, Megan, Magdalena, Marguerite, Neila and Nicholas thank you.

From the first day of the program you worked tirelessly to ensure we the YA's were entertained, comfortable, enjoying the sessions, and actually learning, forming new skills as we embarked on our hero's journey. You were always there if we needed help or had any questions, planned the most ridiculous and fun activities yet helped us to open up and look at our lives from a different perspective and more seriously.

You provided us with the tools and prime environment to grow. To grow individually as better people, to grow together as friends and ultimately as family, and for that words will never be enough to express our never ending gratitude!
Thank you so much once again for this experience! You more than exceeded my expectations for a virtual exchange and really pushed the limits on zoom!

As we close our last session together you will all always be in our hearts as our session leaders, mentors and our YA family! I am excited for the next YA's to embark on their journey with you and I know they will have a blast because of your amazing work, dedication, execution and enthusiasm. These past 5 weeks have been indefinitely impactful. It was awesome getting to meet you all, thank you  so much again.

Love,
Kai 🇧🇧💓

What an extraordinary experience this was! Who thought morning meetings would be so entertaining? Throughout these five weeks I’ve laughed, learned and shared, but thankfully I didn’t cry. A question on the survey was “What part of the meeting was boring or unengaging” and I can truly say, for me, there wasn’t any part. I enjoyed every moment. To Sami, Neila, Chris, Nicolas and Megan, thank you for all of your inspiring words. You have indeed owned up to your roles as mentors, ate it up and left no traces. Thank you for that. To my fellow YA’s, you all were amazing. May you continue to excel as you go down your path of success and happiness. It was a blast getting to meet and laugh with you all. Until next time.

Once again Thank you

The past five weeks have been an incredible opportunity for me. Thanks to the delightful Georgetown team (Sami, Megan, Chris, Magdalena, Elisabeth, and Marguerite), I can say that I've become a more confident, knowledgeable leader who is prepared to affect positive change within my community.

Another important point is that I have been inspired to never give up. You all have changed my perspective on failure and taught me that failure is just a bump in the road, and never the end. This has given me a second wind, and has motivated me to continue to strive for greatness!

The memories and knowledge garnered from this program will last a lifetime. Again, I am so grateful for the opportunity to have participated in this program, as well as the planning and preparation that went into making this program so awesome!

Sincerely,
Olga 💐

This is for Sami, Megan, Magdalena, Elizabeth, Magdalena and Maguerite. Thank you so much, all of you. This was a great experience and i have learnt a lot. It was great having people to guide me to becoming a better person for myself and others. It was comforting to that you guys only had my best interest and heart and it was relieving be able to speak to people who i can relate to. You guys have always made the program interesting and fun. It definitely has been a pleasure meeting all of you. Thanks you so much

Love,
ZZ

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS PROGRAM EXCITING AND AMAZING!!
You have put so much work into this so that we, the YAs, would enjoy it and have a fun experience while also learning. I have learned so much and I am SOOO happy that I applied for this program. I can say that I did not expect to have such a wonderful experience and make so many memories. So...
THANKS A BUNCH!!

Love,
Racheal:)

Thank you so so so much for your great guidance and mentoring. Your energy and excitement always brings a joy to the program and has me wanting to come to each and every session. The atmosphere of our sessions were incredible  and it will truly be missed. I honestly did not think that this was the experience I would gain from attending, I had thoughts about whether it would be as boring as school classes and how could this even compare to actually traveling. Although it obviously can never compare to the physical experience, it was much more than I expected! You all really put in time and effort to make this an amazing and captivating program. I have created a lot of memories (and friends) here and I can’t wait to use my experience in the world. This would not have been possible if it went for you all. I love and appreciate every single one who participated in this program and I’m anticipating the day I can actually meet you all!

Love,
Chaya.💖

I would like to thank you for this incredible opportunity. I am so honoured and feel so blessed to have participated and to have met and been mentored by you. Although all good things must come to an end it is no less sad that this program must, but I will continue to build on what I have learned here and the foundation you have provided me with will never be forgotten. I will use what I have learned here to serve others as we have been taught. I have such great memories from here. My first reaction when my parents said with surprise "This is the last week!" was "Yes. So fun, so sad".  My journey in the "Special World" has been special indeed. Thank you for making it so. I know it must not have been easy but it was a true success and I wish you all the best in whatever you do next.

Thank you for everything,
Alannah 💕

Being a part of this program has been a journey I would never trade but it wouldn't have been possible without the tremendous efforts of you guys. So, above is a quick thank you for everything you have taught, sacrificed, and given for this program to materialize :)

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to say a big thank you for all your hard work and dedication towards this program and making it a success. Thank you for all the enjoyable activities and assignments that will help us to be better individuals going forward. Thank you for looking out for us and making us feel at ease and welcomed. As I get older, I intend to put everything I have learnt from the program into practice whether it be from learning about new skills to problems we face in our everyday life. We hope one day we can see each other face to face and look back at the memories we've made. We will miss you and we appreciate everything you have done for us.

Thank you all for providing a comfortable and open space for us to do this program. At first, I was unsure of how this will compare to being an actual in-person program but this exceeded my expectations completely. Thank you for your hard work and for caring for us. This is the best Virtual experience I have ever had. We have learned so much from you ranging from leadership to how to deal with common issues we may face in the real world. We urge you to keep doing a great job in bringing about change.

Thanks for everything!
