Hi.....Hello.... It's me Rameesha Ishtiaq again, and spend 6 month in USA so far, my life is going great in here. And should be because I never believe in media and those thing what people said about other culture and other countries. The thing is in which you really trust? and if you really have an interest to figure-out what the reality is than you need to involve in community, need to meet people not only those who are like you, but some another kind as a religion as a personality as a life style. These thought I have and how can I do al that staff KL-YES help me a lot. So as a culture exchange student I came here to share the culture with American, everyone who has some misconception about Pakistan. Pakistan because may be most of the people are muslims and some of the American like Muslims (terrorist). I go to high school so best way to define your self in school and make a friend, that's why I joined different kind of clubs after school like I have Asian Club, Honor Society, Community Service and some others.

The Adobe Youth Voices Aspire Awards is a global challenge that invites youth to creatively express their vision for driving change in local communities and to present potential solutions through visual storytelling. "Don't Choose Violence!" Young men should always choose the peaceful way to solve any problem they may have. Fighting is a primitive solution and it should be never chosen.

The Adobe Youth Voices Aspire Awards is a global challenge that invites youth to creatively express their vision for driving change in local communities and to present potential solutions through visual storytelling. "A Voice for Orphans" is a self portrait video documentary in which a sixteen year old orphan called Kyomugisha Christine recounts her experiences as an orphan living alone. The Adobe Youth Voices learners of PMM Girls School created the media to highlight challenges faced by orphans, how they deal with these challenges and also to show that EVEN orphans live with dreams...

The national conversation about online learning has focused on "what" and "how," but has given "with whom" short shrift.

I am Zimran Sabir from Peshawar, Pakistan, an exchange student currently studying in the US as part of the K-L YES Program. I landed on this great land of opportunities in August and started my year with a goal in my mind, to walk on the foot path of dreams and to leave foot prints of success so that people here would always remember me, not as Zimran but Zimran from Pakistan! Because that is my identity and I am proud to be a Pakistani.

Do you love telling stories? Do you want to become a social media superstar? You are in the right place! Join us LIVE each day from May 22-26, 2013 to learn basic videography, photography, storytelling, interviewing and social media skills. You can even submit the acitivies and film project that you create along with the rest of the workshop participants. Follow us on Twitter- @yesprogramnews and Facebook! What is the Regional Digital Storytelling Workshop? In today's multimedia world, community organizing and development require a range of communication and media skills, reaching out to audiences over a variety of platforms. This training will not only allow participants to enhance and expand their technical and social media skills, but will also explore time-tested communication and storytelling techniques, focusing on creating accessible messages for both local and international audiences.
If we are to attain both the current education MDG and a new goal with these components by 2030 that addresses these components, we will need to have what I call the three C's: creativity, collaboration and capital.

Exchange is learning to trust. Trust people, who, at first, are only names on a piece of paper, trust that they want the best for you that they care. Trust, that you have the strength to endure a year on your own, endure a year of being apart from everything that mattered to you before. Trust that you will have friends. Trust that everything’s going to be all right. And it is seeing this trust being justified.
Sec. Kerry: "But today we also have digital bridges to connect different cultures – and I don’t just mean Facebook and Twitter. The State Department’s Educational and Cultural Affairs Bureau runs a virtual exchange program that connects teachers and students in the United States with their counterparts in the Middle East and North Africa. These students are working together online, learning from each other about their cultures and history, and they’re forging lasting relationships. "So I’m excited to tell you that we are right now working closely with Chris Stevens’s family on a public-private virtual exchange that we’re going to call the Chris Stevens Youth Network. And we believe this can lead to the largest ever increase in people-to-people exchanges between the United States and the Middle East and North Africa. And we believe it will also dramatically increase the number and diversity of young people who have a meaningful cross-cultural experience – the same experience that Chris, and I think all of you understand is so important."

The Adobe Youth Voices Aspire Awards is a global challenge that invites youth to creatively express their vision for driving change in local communities and to present potential solutions through visual storytelling. My project is called ”Stop bullying” and it’s about people who suffer from depression. The project was created in Adobe Photoshop CS5 using a number of 3 pictures. I used a a few lighting effects and some texts inspired from real life. The message I want to send to everyone, especially teenagers is that bullying can cause a lot of psychological damages, including suicides and we must rise against it.

Life = Smile We made this video because we think that we are living in a world where people are hating too much, and they're forgeting one important thing in life, which is smiling. People should be happier, but they are always seeing the dark side of everything, and society is every day worse because they are telling people what they think that everyone is supposed to be like, and that's wrong: we all have the right to be what we want to be. We hope that this video, from our point of view, makes all of you to think about what can we do to change this.
