WOW :)

Hi there,

I will just start by saying WOW, what an amazing week. RYLA has been the most life changing and moving experience.
Most of us started the week off feeling very unsure of our expectations of what RYLA was actually about.
I now know what it is about, it is confidence building, discovering things about yourself that you never knew, making friendships that will last a life time and basically has helped me to set goals and stick to them.
I had the privellege of partially MC'ing at the dinner on Wednesday night. For me this was one of the most beneficial parts of the week. I was by no means a confident public speaker but having had this experience my confidence has grown enormously.
Our team 'Spunky Monkeys' had the role of running the dinner. We had to establish a run sheet of all of the events for the evening and also come up with a seating plan.
Throughout the week we not only got to listen to many inspirational speakers, but there were a lot of fun team building activities.
I feel so honoured to have had the chance to be able to attend RYLA and there are not many words that can descirbe the experience that I have had. We are leaving for home tomorrow and the thought of having the leave all of these amazing people is very emotional.

Thank you
Kate Fraser
