36 Young Leaders from 10 countries recently came together to volunteer at the UK School Games in Sheffield from 31 August to 4 September 2011. Anna Young, YST co-ordinator, declared this group to be the best they have worked with in the four years since International Inspiration have been involved.
Here are the opinions of the Welfare Officers; the people that looked after the Young Leaders throughout their duration of their stay in the UK. Not only was the experience beneficial for the Young Leaders themselves but it broadened the horizons of the people around them.
