There are no words I can describe, these feelings by Dea
Everything started with an invitation from a friend of mine... "do you want to be part of a youth training?"

I accepted without asking any questions, even though I didn't know what the activities were or what we would do there. He said to me that I can invite one of my friends too, so Eli was the one I invited. This is how all started, the beginning wasn’t that good, because one of our trainers left but the other part of my YMCA road was just incredible. I applied to be a trainer for a Leadership group, I got accepted, they choose my group members, I was terrified because I didn’t meet any of them before. But they were my inspiration, they believed in me, worked with me and because of them I continue, I got another group that was as wonderful as the first one.
I got an invitation to go to Norway for the TT festival where I meet a lot of new young people, new cultures it was amazing, after a year the most inspirational person I have ever met Adi asked me to help him lead a group of young people in a Danish festival called Wonderful Days, even though it was my first time leading a group out of the leadership program everything was fantastic! I was learning new things all the time, meeting new people, doing things that I never thought I could do and here I am now writing my story which is very difficult because there are no words I can describe these feelings!
I’m very lucky that I had the chance to have these feelings and experiences, but what makes me even prouder are that people from my leadership groups are now Youth Ambassadors and trainers, they have proven themselves but also they rewarded my work in the best way possible!
