My dear Friends,
PLEASE FORWARD. PLEASE ATTEND.
PIYA COMMITTEE (PARTICIPATION AND INVOLVEMENT OF YOUTH FOR ACTION) YWCA,
Mumbai, invites young women, aged 15 years to 30years of all religious
communities to a Youth Empowerment Camp 2009, THEME Born Equal, on
Saturday, 16th May, 2009 and Sunday, 17th May, 2009.
PIYA trains youth to plan plenty of easy, fun and creative individual and group
activities, to make the most of their youth and bring good ideas and also a
sense of ownership, and will teach them responsibility and respect.
Youth are encouraged to use excess energy productively by educational outings
like visits to see personally, the work of NGOs carried out in Mumbai. Many
NGOs have been set up in a particular neighbourhood as they have specific
programmes to meet the needs of a particular area. This way the youth can have
a day of fun while nurturing and stimulating their young minds.
YWCA provides many opportunities for youth to explore their abilities and
further develop their talents.
Future programmes of PIYA committee will be :- (1) Medical check-up camp for
in-mates of Byculla jail for women and children (2) Inter-collegiate Poster,
Debate and Drama Competitions, (3) Outreach programmes which include 10 visits
to centres conducting womens empowerment and awareness programmes, centes for
women and children in distress, Clean Mumbai campaigns etc. (4) Leadership
training workshops and (5) A Peace conference Seminar.
The following are the words of the late Madame Susan Mathai :-
Our experience as a YWCA movement which has worked in the voluntary sector for
over one hundred years leads us to believe that volunteerism has an important
role in building civil society. The challenge today is to mobilize like-minded
people to play an effective role in working for a society that is just and
humane and upholds democratic values. In the social, economic, political and
communal upheavals of the times, there is need for people with vision to work
for the transformation of society.
November 2000, (Late) Susan Mathai, National President,YWCA of India
