How special is this!
Soon we'll be doing a 'Make a Step' workshop with a special group, somewhere in Romania. We were there six years ago. That's beautiful in itself, but that's not what I mean by 'special' in this case.
I mean this:
This week I got a message from one of the leaders there, telling the group we'd be coming back. An older teenager said, "Oh, I remember that well! I even remember a question they asked us!" (an 18-year-old who was 12 back then and now helps lead younger teenagers).
And this:
Yesterday I was driving back home with someone, a 21-year-old younglady from Oradea. Whenever I meet someone, they always ask two questions: where are you from and what are you doing here? So did this lady (and her friend who was traveling with her). When I explained that I'm involved in various projects, including visiting schools, they asked me which schools I have visited. The driver responded in surprise: "I went to that school!"
It took me a few seconds to tell her which programs we were doing, and she exclaimed in amazement: "Oh, I remember that! I even remember a question you asked us; it really touched us, especially my classmate!"
Now this young lady has a job and is still studying at university. Her classmate from back then is doing well!
Two similar messages from young people who were in our program 6(!) years ago!
That! Impact! Positivity! Breakthroughs!
That's what we want to achieve and what we're doing with 'Make a Step'!
And apparently, it's working!!
