The nine teens pictured above are just a few of the members of Youth 2 Youth Berlin, a group which single handedly raised $4,825 to send these members to the Youth to Youth Eastern States Conference this past July. They were able to attend the conference for yet another year of many cheerful hellos and very tearful good-byes.
