Youth Impact Delegation

Posted by Kenny, Delegate (Thursday AM)

The Youth Impact delegation safely arrived in Taraz on Tuesday ahead of schedule. A few of us can still feel the effects of jet lag, but generally everybody has adjusted well.

Yesterday we worked at PTL (Poly-Technical College) with the kids playing games and connecting the principles of fun with life and its hard decisions. Many of the kids responded well and the team had a lot of fun.


We are all getting accustomed to the delicious food here as well as the peculiar customs of this country. Several team members visited “the square” with host families last night to enjoy roller skating and the carnival-like atmosphere. Many Kazakhs come out in the evening to enjoy the festivities and relax after a hot day.


Today we visit PTL again to continue yesterday’s activities and lessons and finish the day out with a city-wide scavenger hunt. Sounds exciting! Well, don’t worry, there will be much more to write about later.
