BTS101: Stand4Youth: YMCA Katzweiler, Germany

Germany. The crowns. It's just coincidence. Or is it? Also in celebration of Germany winning the 2014 World Cup in Brasil, we've selected this 2014 YMCA World Challenge video contribution. It's just coincidence, but notice the "crowns" on the t-shirts in the featured image and also used as props in the video itself. Congratulations Germany! And a big Thank You to the YMCA Katzweiler for all the work they do, every day, to empower young people.
