Participant Perspective: Sassa Williams
Hey there :) ! My name is Sassa Williams. I'm 14 and from Dillingham, Alaska. I'm here at AYEA! It's pretty awesome; I liked meeting all the new people and making all these new friends. It was an experience I'm never going to forget. One of the things I learned here at AYEA is that there are a lot more problems going on with the world, its economy and our food. Most people are determined to look over these problems and not make an effort to try and make the world a more positive place. AYEA was developed to help these problems and do everything they can. All the staff and participants at AYEA are my absolute motivation and inspiration. It's incredible how they have the guts and bravery to speak up while others sit and watch the health of the people and the surrounding nature slowly wither away. I'm deeply grateful that I got to share time with these amazing people and learn more ways to help the world :) Thanks guys! I'll miss you!
