Youth: From One Jampar to the Next

I have had hundreds of days of jampar (camp) in my life, but today was unlike any any other. New country, new people, new jampar. Going into this experience, I lacked expectations, except for those guided by ungerouhi Sanan’s non-stop praise of Camp Javakhk and everything that comes with it. Even with that, I was overwhelmingly nervous going into this experience, especially because of the language barrier. Every other jampar I had been to had been filled with familiarity and bursting with faces that have been constant throughout my childhood. This was different.
