Its around 2.00 am in China and im sitting writing a grant proposal for one of the branches of the yp. Looking back all I can say is that 2 years ago i never ever thought this would be real. Any of it. Finding focus, being able to retain your idealism and learning to work with people is no small thing, and the YP's definitely done that for me. With all its craziness and sometimes chaos, there are not mane such spaces/ places which have managed to survive. being able to adapt to different young people's expectations and personalities is no small thing. To ownership and accountability, wishing that this the trajectory continues.

I have been watching music basti grow in the last year or so and the sort of work which its doing + the direction it takes keeps surprising me every time! To start with the sort of happiness every volunteer with the project exhibits is a tremendous achievement. I think that the inclusion of child rights within its curriculum, gives the programme SO much scope to go forward, it's simplicity, easy interaction & awesome communications material is also lovely. In terms of feedback,maybe goals can be more specific, looking at creating a system which can be implemented and taken forward would need identification of the right organizations and focus should be put on that. I think that certain choices in regards to direction need to be taken strategically.Its a fantastic and fresh initiative which needs all the support possible!
