YMCA Global Teens - Thailand '09 - "One Mission: Change Lives"

YMCA Global Teens presents Thailand '09, documenting the journey of thirteen teens (and three counselors) to the Thai village of Sanpaton to build a YMCA. From constructing the physical structure of the building to spending time volunteering with local village children, the teens spent 15 days completing numerous community service projects, all while taking in the rich culture of the world around them. All the footage was shot by the teens and their counselors during their trip.
