Last May 14-15, 2011, 39 active youth leaders from the different parishes in the Savannakhet-Thakhek Diocese came together for the first Youth Leadership camp. This was facilitated by Baow, Hiew and Fr. Lo (Youth Office, CBCLC).
The 2-day camp focused on the attitudes and qualities of a good leader. The participants also looked at the dreams they have for themselves, as well as for their particular youth groups. The process involved some inputs, group sharings, games and similar activities.
This leadership camp, which will be a monthly event, hopes to make the leader-participants more active in their own parishes, establish connection with each other and follow-up on fruits of parish activities, help them understand about faith and about how to be leaders, and make them more aware of the situation of the youth in their own parishes. The participants will also learn about making plans for their groups.
Baow and Hiew, both from the 5th Batch of IFFAsia’s Basic Formation Program, will be taking turns planning and preparing for these monthly Youth Leadership camps.
Other activities are being scheduled in the Diocese this June, including an English camp for the youth in the center, and a retreat for the youth leaders.
We thank God for the blessing so that this camp can push through. And we thank all those who continue to pray with and for us.

(Batch 5, IFFAsia Basic Formation Program)
After completing his basic formation last March 2011, Baow has since gone back home to Laos to fulfill his 2-year commitment on the ground by working for the youth in his Diocese. Last April 2 – 8, 2011, he became part of the mission group sent by Fondacio Asia Youth Pastoral to Cambodia, which facilitated a Leadership Training Program for potential young leaders coming from the Vicariate of Phnom Penh. He now shares this new experience by facilitating similar camps for the youth leaders of his Diocese.
