For 2 separate occasions now, the first last April 28, 2008 at Jean Vanier in Scarborough and yesterday, May 9 at University of Toronto, GK Youth Build has been having small sessions with 12-20 secondary students to build on its promise to have more youth hear about an opportunity for them to become modern day leaders.
Yesterday's session was attended by 12 students from 6 various secondary schools as part of the Asian Heritage Month month-long activities. The discussion cum forum was moderated by GKYB Core founders Maripi Leynes and Junnie Arreza and was well received with active discussions and a lot of interesting points coming from the youth. The results were very encouraging. One of the youth participants intimated we will be invited to their church to speak to their youth group. Another one came up to us and volunteered to have their groups of friends join in the next events that GK Youth Build will conduct.
Indeed, these are welcome and we are excited about the prospects.
If you have schools who want to hear the good news, as well as other stories about Therese's "Bags of Beads" campaign, etc. please email us at gkyouthbuild@gmail.com
