"I learned about democracy ,mutual understanding, self-respect, and positive thinking.  I see that I had many misperceptions about the U.S. and Americans had misperceptions about Indonesia.  Many of these have been changed now." - Jaili Marina, Aceh, participant, Youth Leadership Program - Indonesia 2006


"Democracy is a fragile form of government that needs constant tending.  We see what the U.S. people are debating and realize that Indonesia is evolving.  Our generation will be critical to its success." -- Mustafa Haroun, Jogjakarta, Youth Leadership Program- Indonesia, 2004

democracy "In the Global Youth Village we are given responsibility - anything from planning presentations to managing town meetings and organizing sports and games. Many things depend on our judgment and teamwork. It is a good feeling." Angela Oels, Germany  
   

  democracy training for Bosnia and Herzogovinia   "This program helped me to understand that people are the ones who create democracy and not the government, because citizens vote and elect that government. Citizens all together can do anything they think is right. The first step to improvement of democracy in our country is that all three nations have the same rights and they are all treated equally. We should work together to do this in a proper way and as fast as we can, so that the next generations can enjoy the fruits of our work." Milos Ribic, age 17, Youth Leadership Program - Bosnia and Herzogovina, 2005  
       
  community connections workshop   "I was quite impressed by the effort that the Roanoke city government officials take to include citizen input in their programs and decisions. Every year they dedicate a specific sum of money in their city budget to pay for staff time and specific events during which they talk to citizens about decisions and programs." Almaz Asanaleav, Vice Governor, Jalalabd region, Kyrgyzstan- Community Connections Program- 2005
