Many thanks to @GentGjikolli for meeting with the Kosovo students during the last #KLYES End of Stay celebration at @StateDep. Cultural exchange and the building of strong ties between countries is key for a more peaceful and just world.

Man, this is aging me badly 😆 I was part of the first group to represent Sierra Leone 🇸🇱 & my love story with Michigan began here! Being a YES-YFU student in 2010/2011 was a rich experience that helped shape the man I am becoming! Thank you @yesprogramnews @yfu #hostingmatters
