Summary/Abstract: I have visited the United States of America five years ago for the first time. I still remember clearly the meetings I had, at which I have realised that the Hungarian community is facing very similar issues over the Atlantic Ocean. I went back this summer to Lake Hope, where the ITT-OTT summer camp is held, this time joined by my wife. We have talked about the work we are doing in Romania, through YMCA Transylvania (IKE). We had the possibility to present our biggest event yet, the “Change of Direction” Christian Youth Festival, where we had 2500 young participants in 2018. For the next period, we are ready to help the connection between the students and the domestic business area, which is the key for the preservation of the Hungarian community in Transylvania.
