notes from other participants…
August 7, 2008Hi
My name is Ali Tareq. I am from Iraq. I am in program called IYLEP 2008. I like the Global Youth Village (GYV). I like the electives. I am in the sport elective with Tarek and G. They taught me how to play American football, and also I’ve learned how to play basketball. And today, we will play soccer. The workshops here are great. We discuss very important issues, we also share our opinions about them. The dialogue is awesome. I’ve discovered many things about America, and also I’ve taught a lot myself.

Me (Mohammad), Shad, Ramyar and Nawzad, we daily start our swimming lesson by 2:15. Our coach is Ryan. He is my counselor too. We learned so much, crowel stroke, back at elementary stroke, but what really is amazing is that the next time we’ll be swimming we’ll say that Ryan taught us – so we won’t forget about him.
