An unforgettable adventure by Jora
When
I first found out that I was chosen to go to London for YMCA 175 I was too
excited, not only because I was going to London but also it was my first time
in an airplane and my first time in an international event with YMCA. As days
went by, the 3rd of August finally came. After a day of traveling, we saw our
self in London. I still couldn't believe it. For the event, we had to take part
in different workshops that were held by different countries around the world.
We also had to lead a workshop "TenSing in a new country" which was
on the last day of the event. The first day was amazing... It was the opening
of the event where our ambassador Florent Abrashi sang some amazing songs,
creating a wonderful atmosphere. The second day went great.

I took
part on workshops about wellness, leadership, and inclusion, which made me learn
a lot about those topics and I’m happy that I can share that knowledge with our
youth. Also, we met some friends from Frost Valley. They were so kind and friendly.

In the 3rd day, we went on a tour to see all the main points of the city, like the London Eye, London Bridge, museums, etc. We had so much fun, it was an awesome experience. Time was running so fast because of the fun we had, the joy was irreplaceable. The last day came. During the day I took part on a workshop from Island with a lot of games and dancing.

We also held our workshop about TenSing which was
a success. The closing ceremony was held in the evening which I can say was
stunning. During this time in London, I met a lot of new people from different
parts of the world. We were so different but yet we had one thing in common
which was YMCA. I'm so thankful that I was part of an event like this one. It
was definitely something that I will always remember. It was an unforgettable
adventure. In this case, I would like to show my full appreciation and gratitude
towards the YMCA for making this trip happen. I always wanted to see London and its
cultural goods.
