Our Trip to Zambia May 6-13, 2010

Two Members of Kitchener-Waterloo YMCA and one from Hamilton/Burlington/Brantford YMCA had the opportunity to travel to Zambia to visit our partners. This was an amazing experience for the delegates who went and for our friends who received them. During their stay, the partnership between our YMCAs was strengthened and our delegates left with a better understanding, greater friendships and a deep admiration of the work being done in Zambia. Below are some of the photos from the trip. We support the HIV/AIDS Peer Education Project, but the Zambia YMCA offers many programs in the community.
