Cory Castro, Participant says
“I am 15 years old and have lived in Northampton, Massachusetts all my life. I never really got an idea of what the world was like outside of the US until I came to the Village. Everyday I found myself engaging in political conversations, learning about Indonesian culture and in doing so I gained a global perspective. If I hadn’t come to GYV, I would probably have spent the summer at home, wondering about what the world was like, but would have had no idea.
