| Notes | "Lots of worthwhile things aren't easy, but we work at them because we really want them. Like landing a nose slide. Landing a nose slide is cool, but helping others - that's the coolest trick of all. You want to talk about a tough trick? Try being a pacifist."
Ryan, a young person from Ontario, uses his hobby of skateboarding to talk about MCC's relief and peacemaking work around the world. We travel to Colombia to see an MCC program that helps youth displaced by war learn to use conflict resolution skills as an alternative to violence. Helps North American youth think about and discuss conciliation and peacemaking and what it means to help others.
