YAC Invitational Reflections

Dr. Gigi Ho, Japan America Society Education Coordinatorm "The visit to the OKC Memorial Museum has been an educational experience especially the amount of information one gathered at the series of talks and tours given. The follow-up brainstorming session at Casady continues the connective mode bringing the participants closer together and getting active in mind and action about the peace project. As a JASO participant, I look forward to making the Anime Origami Peace Project a success and sharing with Oklahoma community ways and means of generating peace and spreading it beyond."


Mrs. Clay, Casady Service-Learning Director wishes to share an inspirational video as part of her reflection:

Mrs. Clay also reflected in the form of a children's book available at the Volunteer Center or by request at clayc@casady. org. The book is at a first draft stage and will be improved by interested YAC Invitational participants.

From Mrs. Joan Korenblit: "As the executive director of the Respect Diversity Foundation, I’m very interested in working with organizations that promote peace and service learning projects. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Carmen Clay and Casady YAC students for many years, through the Respect Diversity Symbol Exhibit, MLK Day, Pinwheels for Peace, Walk the World and other endeavors. I look forward to seeing how YAC students follow through this year on such far reaching projects. I’d like to thank Mr.John Kennedy for providing the funding for the two-day YAC Invitational Retreat."
