The YOUTH MUNDIAL will be held in the month of July the week of the
13-20. The show has been moved toMedellin, Colombia.
The Dominican Republic was not able to fulfill the responsibility so Confepaso voted to move it to Colombia. There is some interest among our youth and their families to represent the USA at this International Competition.
In order to select the USA team, the PFHA youth committee has set the qualifying workshop/show for the following date and locations:
Well! Tonight the official opening ceremony was celebrated in the city of Medellin, Colombia.
It was very emotional! ceremony, I couldn't help to noticed Dominican Republic not participated in the ceremony, maybe they decided in protest not to participate. (just my opinion)
Anyway! we still don't have the names of USA team members! what a shame! to see how little publicity and support our kids are getting, is sad.
