Today, we decided to create a Global Youth Alliance.  The reality of creating an organization with such a wide-ranging mission has hit me hard.  Basically, we're doing all that's required to set up an organization without actually creating one. This is extremely difficult for myself and my fellow delegates; for not only must we organize ourselves but we must organize and coordinate thousands of other organizations. And with so little time!

All the youth delegates have proven priceless in the creation of our alliance. Along with these youth delegates, the organization, Worldlink, and the facilities they have set up have been undoubtedly the most important source of inspiration, information, and direction. Without them, the Alliance would be nothing beyond a marvelous dream.

In our efforts to form the G.Y.A., we wasted a lot of time because we were apprehensive in breaking down into small groups that were required to remain focused. However, we eventually realized it was necessary and vital to our success.
