This is part 1, check also part 2 (too long to upload as one)In August 2008 a group of youngsters went to the Peace & Love Orphanage in Ghana. The name of the project is: Reach out a Hand. The youngsters gave all kind of workshops, like making clothes, dancing classes, writing essays, making bracelets and so on. Beside the workshops, they talked alot with the kids and shared life experiences, showed the kids the power they have inside to reach their goals and achieve something good in life. Because of the combination of discussing serious topics and the workshops, the kids were able to show their talents and expressing themselves by who they really are. They were having fun and learning a lot at the same time. It was really a once in a lifetime experience, it opened up many hearts and it has still an impact in many lifes. In August 2009, a new group of youngsters will go to 2 other orphanages in Ghana. More info: www.ydss.org or www.apo-clipz.com Peace Harmony Love Unity Stay Blessed
