I think the final entries from the teens speak for themselves.  As I close this blog for the YPG8 2009, I would only say that this has been a powerful experience for us all.  Not only because we discussed important topics such as diversity, discrimination and environment.  These 2 weeks have been extraordinary because we lived it as well.  It is rare to find the opportunity to exist in such a loving, accepting yet stimulating environment.  My hope and prayer is that all the participants of this project can continue the life they lived on board and work to change the world not only through their beliefs, but also with their behavior.  

Wishing fair winds and new horizons to all.
