Greatest Love of All - New York YMCA participates in Thai Pageant to reach out to local community

On the recent Global Teens trip to Thailand, 13 New York City teenagers were encouraged to step out of their comfort zones by challenging themselves to explore another culture.

One of their advisors on the trip was asked to do the same by competing in the Ms. Longan 2009 festival in Sanpatong, Thailand to help raise awareness about the YMCA in the area.

Little did she know that she would have to display her vocal talent in front of an audience of 500.

Heres what happened
