<br>*"Ha sido la mejor experiencia de mis 17 años de vida. Estoy muy orgulloso de mis compañeros y de mi mismo porque he notado que podemos hacer algo importante."<br><br>*"Venir aquí me ha hecho pensar, me ha ayudado tomar las decisiones correctas."<br>
<br>*"Yo creía que todos de la juventud de los EEUU eran ricos y habían nacidos en los Estados Unidos. No sabia que existía tanta diversidad, gente de tantos países. Ahora tengo una nueva opinión de la gente de los EEUU. Con este grupo fenomenal, establecí unos encuentros inolvidables junto a ellos. Tuvimos la oportunidad de hablar de diferentes temas y de los aspectos de sus vidas en sus países, y de nuestro país y comunidad. También pudimos hablar de posibles soluciones a diferentes asuntos como la pobreza y la discriminación racial." - Batey 8, miembro de la comunidad <br>
