[HRAP/mex] visit to C.F.R
Today is Wednesday, July 15th. We are on the second week of H.R.A.P. It has been going good. Today we learned vocabulary words relating to Immigration. The language practice in the morning is very helpful. The brain or memory usually remains very sharp.
We practiced some workshop facilitation. The funny thing is that all the games were translated to Spanish. I think it will be a lot of fun playing in Mexico.
Some people from Fordham High School came to G.K office today to talk about their trip to Costa Rica. They talked about their experience there and advised us on safe traveling in Costa Rica.
After that, we went to the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). Since I interned there last year, it was kind of emotional for me to see a new group there. It reminded me about last year. Anyway, this year I saw a lot of diverse people in C.F.R. We participated in their workshops and worked with them. It was a lot of fun there. C.F.R is always very exciting. The fact that youth like me are so concerned about different policies of the U.S is making me so happy because they are the future citizens of the U.S. The more they are involved the better the policies of U.S will be because our actions are affecting people around the world.
I wish I could have been in the C.F.R discussing those issues forever!!!!!
