We Day, September 30, 2010
By Brian
What a wonderful day it was to attend an event that would transform the youth of our generation. Andy, Rucha and Brian of the TIGed team participated in an event called We Day hosted by Free the Children. Heading to the venue, we passed by thousands of enthusiastic high school students. They were all ready to begin making a difference in the world. We started the day with a wonderful breakfast, bagels, salad, coffee and juice. We met some pretty interesting people during the breakfast as well. By the end of breakfast, everyone in attendance was excited to begin the experience known as We Day.
Between the speeches and music, I was really inspired to see so many youth caring about the world and willing to stand up for freedom and peace. I was especially touched when I heard the stories and the speech from three peace champions, Betty Williams, Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish and Michel Chikwanine. Their personal experience and determination for peace is truly touching. I’m sure everyone in the audience, when asked to embrace the people around them, literally, had a lasting impression of the event because of their speeches and the stories they shared. It certainly was the case for me.
Overall, this was a great venue, and definitely hats off to Free the Children for putting on a spectacular show and definitely an event that will change the future through the lives of the youth in attendance.
Here’s a cheer for a brighter future! Hip, hip, Hoorray!
