GeoVisions is so very proud of one of our Summer Work and Travel students from Malaysia. And we were suprised at the WYSTC (World Youth and Student Travel Conference) conference last week in San Diego. Abby, who hails from Malaysia had just won the Video of the Year award and US $2,000. Her job was to produce a video along the theme of "Expand Your Horizons." She did an amazing job. Her video was judged by people all over the world.
Each year, WYSE Work Abroad, through WYSTC, invites young people to submit a video that shares their unique experience of working or volunteering abroad. One lucky participant can win US $2,000! So, if you're a great video producer, why not enter for the 2013 award? It will be awarded in Sydney, Australia in September, 2013.
A GeoVisions student, Wai Kuan Lam (Abby), is this year's winner. Abbey is from Malaysia and worked in Cape May, New Jersey last year. Randy LeGrant and Kevin Morgan from GeoVisions accepted the award in San Diego on behalf of Abby. (But Abby gets all the money!)
We hope you will take a look at this 3 minute video that won "Best Video Of The Year" and see why her four months in the United States was so meaningful and you will understand how the Summer Work and Travel experience and going through GeoVisions "expanded Abby's horizons.
