It was a big weekend for GYPA in New York City and Washington D.C.

On Thursday, Jeremy Goldberg and Josh Goldstein, GYPA staff, presented the THINK AGAIN! project at the Global Kids Annual Conference entitled Media in a Globalized World. At the conference were over 500 energetic high school students from around the City who had applied to work with Global Kids on international issues. It was amazing to see a conscious effort by high schoolers to investigate the world they are going to inherit. Also, Josh spoke about GYPA's work with renowned Brooklyn hip hop artist Talib Kweli.

On Saturday, Global Kimeeza Alumni and organizing phenom Jaime Alvis organized an amazing event at Staccato Bar in Washington D.C. to benefit the 'Bending of the Spears' campaign in Northern Uganda.
