So, I have finally arrived in Mexico City and have been busy with various Mexico YouthForce activities- namely the youth pre-conference. This has been my first time attending the youth pre-conference and although I haven't gotten a chance to attend many sessions I have gotten to meet many of the participants. Many of them are individuals that I have been corresponding with via e-mail for the past few months. Is nice to finally see people in person. One of the highlights for me has been meeting the members of the media and communications sub-committee as we have spent many months conversing together- planning various activities! I have also been impressed by the level of conversation and dedication at the youth pre-conference. It is very inspiring--am now looking forward to the youth reception tomorrow night!

And before I forget I just want to give a shout out to Aleza and Rodrigo and the rest of the pre-conference committee--they have done a fantastic job with organizing this event!
