This blog is for YMCA Calgary youth delegates to share their experiences as they visit our partners at YMCA Ukraine. International YMCA partnerships allow us to build global awareness through real relationships. We share knowledge and resources while we learn from each other. Young leaders develop skills and confidence to advance peace, social justice and dignity in their own community.

Heading home
Well we are in Kyiv now and just packing up some final things before we catch our taxi to the airport. We had a wonderful stay in Dubno. There was an annual rock concert happening which we had the opportunity to attend and hear some original Ukrainian rock. It was really cool. Then today we went on another excursion and ended up at the St. Ann Springs. This is a really sacred place and people travel from far and wide to go here. It is a pool of water that remains about 5 degrees year round and it is said that after you enter this water you will have good health for one year. It was soooo cold but both Jillian and I entered the water. I am really glad that I had this experience. It was a really short but great time in Dubno. So I guess this is good-bye to Ukraine. It has been amazing as usual and I am having a hard time saying good-bye as usual. I can't wait to share our adventures. See you all soon.
