One of those sleepless nights…

I couldn’t sleep tonight… I am less than a week away from going to Armenia, and I’m already having dreams of the kids I’m going to meet and the memories I’m going to make with all of the other ungers and ungerouhis. This is my first time participating in AYF Youth Corps. Every time I think about Armenia, I’m constantly reminded that I’m not only going to Armenia to volunteer, but I’m also going to make an impact on someone’s life.

I am impatiently waiting for July 5th. I can’t wait until I meet my family, wake up to the sun in Armenia, and be able to experience this type of opportunity. The next 6 weeks are going to be amazing; they are going to be filled with laughter, happiness and joy.

AYF Youth Corps gives you that feeling that being a part of something special makes you SPECIAL.

I’ll be posting pictures, blogs, and vlogs throughout my stay in Armenia for 6 weeks with the other AYF Youth Corps participants. Stay tuned!
