Prof. Storr shared with us the following comments. "In regard to the conference, I envisioned interacting with the participants, hearing their stories and expectations and how best my presence and presentations would serve the occasion. I listened to different speakers, observed the responses of the attendees, was engaged in the conference as the young people led the way and I found myself inspired." He went on to tell us, "I am enamored with the positivity of the young people...and I believe they will contribute to the definition and growth of their country." He said, "I realized that one has to become a two-way gate...prepared to give...prepared to take in. This all leads to becoming educated, valuable global citizens engaged in the exchange and trade of culture and ideas."

Nick Nguyen

During the summer of 2014, Nick Nguyen, a minister and Youth Leader of Freedom Worship Center in San Jose, California, attended the National Youth Conference in the Republic of Burundi Africa. He traveled as part of a delegation to Burundi.

Nguyen had these reflections. "I prematurely thought I was going to impart what I have acquired from God and America." What he discovered was, "The people of Burundi were among the most loving, genuine, humble, intelligent and God loving people I have ever met. The average Burundian spoke three or more languages fluently. This revealed the capacity and zeal the people have toward progress."

Those visiting Burundi are being encouraged to be aware of the self-motivation of the Burundians under the supportive leadership of President Pierre Nkurunziza, President of Republic of Burundi. Burundi Africa is finding solutions for their countries' challenges and working to build a stronger Burundi.
