Youth Center

Yesterday, we had the privilege of hanging out with a group of youth from a local youth drop-in center. Similar to the Boy and Girls Club in the USA, young people can drop by the center after school for a bit of fun (and to stay out of trouble!). :) We had a great time hanging with them. We played pool, foosball, and also kicked around a soccer ball for a bit. We really enjoyed being able to meet and connect with some local youth. Most of them didn't speak English, so most of the communication was through smiles, handshakes, and high fives. There was such a wide mix of nationalities represented in the group - Middle Eastern, African, Carribbean and more! Netherlands is truly a melting pot just like the USA. Both of us worked with youth in our previous jobs back in the USA, so we were more than thrilled to spend some time with local youth.
