Archdiocesan Youth Day 2007

Hi everybody, it's been a quite some time ago since the blog had new posting. Exam has finished and holiday is coming. Opss......not quite a holiday, second year students still have projects, some fyp students still have to do their fyp presentation, and IAers still have 5 weeks to go. First year students!!!! Have a nice holiday! Hmm, oh yeah, the graduate students or maybe working people won't have holiday, at least for the coming 3 months. God bless us all :).

Hmm, there is an event that will be held this July, it is the Archdiocesan Youth Day 2007. They are currently looking for facilitators to facilitate the youths on that day. Maybe later you'll need to facilitate a group throughout the event, maybe through some sharing or games. I am not so sure about the exact activities. And it is always a very rewarding experience, trust me, I have done several facilitating. When you give, you'll receive hundredfolds :).

If you are interested to be one and curious for some other information, please contact Hendri Harmoko in 90690894. Just drop him an sms or a call.

The detail of the event itself is as follows:

Archdiocesan Youth Day 2007


The Youth Ministry Office (YMO) is organizing an Archdiocesan Youth Day on Saturday 7th July 2007. This is for all youth of the Archdiocese who will be confirmed between July 2007 and June 2008.
