Name : NorsonFrom : Texas - another country apart from USA
Sleeps : with an Angel
Age : Don't be deceived by his boyish looks. But actually he really is a child-at-heart. MidEast Youth call him "Kuya Norse" - do the math
Norson heard about the GKYB program scheduled for July 2007 and started emailing Michele, GKYB's coordinator since early March 2007 for possibilities of joining in case there is no US Build/GAT. Monthly, he was diligent enough to inform us on development of his plans in the Philippines. In fact, in April, he had once said he wouldn't be able to join but in the end, last July 16, 2007, he was there as USA's gift to the Youth Build of Canada.
He wore the Canada cap for 17 days, didn't mind sometimes being introduced as part of Canada, went with us during the visit to the embassy (not the known club at the Fort) and CIDA and really was Canadian for most part of the build.
His being part of the build program added another dimension to our interesting group. He was the only YFC member, he added spice - the Texan point of view of things, and acted as our brunt of jokes about his lovelife and his patience to putting up with different personalities during the whole 2.5 weeks.
Overall, the first communication in March that ended with a great parting last July 31st wasn't for naught. We added a friend, a brother, an advocate of the GK Youth Build program in his hometown in Texas. Hopefully we will see each other in future builds and will not be "lazies" in answering emails.We will miss you Norson! Good luck on your Campus-based U of T (Texas) plans of conducting a build soon!

Sometimes people are sent to us by God for different reasons. Angels are sent to make our lives interesting. But with Norson, he was sent to GKYB to become more than an angel. We hope to see him again soon, and that he succeeds in all his plans, including that of having his Campus-based YFC have a Build in 2008. God bless!
thank you so much for the funny post about me!
it was not only a blessing but also a pleasure to be with you canadians!

"Angels are sent to make our lives interesting. But with Norson, he was sent to GKYB to become more than an angel." Haha :)
Thanks Norson for coming with us! If it wasn't for you and the others who came along, the "GAT" wouldn't be as great! Hopefully we can all go again next year, along with more people! Good luck with everything!
"Lazzies!" ;P
