St. Bernard's- Justin and Nate

This week we have had many new experiences from learning to build a fence to visiting Niagara Falls. When we arrived, we both were both unsure about the week ahead. Quickly these feelings were replaced with a sense of joy and hope. At our work sites, we were able to see the change we made in the community surrounding us. The most astounding part was the change it made in us. We made new friends and discovered a sense of belonging with those we worked with. As a whole, we think that YNIA reveals the true potential and mindset of young teens. In our final hours spent at our mission site, we both can say that we are fulfilled by the week with YNIA. It has provided us with an outlet to truly make a difference in the world.
