On 23 february YPM received visitors from Valdres- Norway who had come to see and learn on the implementation of the YPM project that is partly supported by their school.

The group consists of eighteen students with their teacher and assistant teacher from Kenya. The team arrived from Kenya where they first landed from Norway to also take part and learn from the organizations and their involvement in community work. In Lushoto they were well received by their host and had a good time to visit different places that they were planned to visit. These include the Shume VICOBA groups, Kwedeghe where they had time to intermingle with the locals through sports, staying with families and help in the daily chore of the household. It was an experience that many have shared to be very intuitive and educative. It also opened them into the culture exchange, learning through comparative methodology of what they see and what they live like back in their places.  There was time to have sports with the Youth of YPM-Volleyball where they got together also with a team from Haugaland YWCA/YMCA that was visiting YPM. There was also a day to visit the centers for disabled and spent the day with the kids/pupils.
