YO Challenge at
DBTI- Boroko: less for self, more for others, enough for
all
PORT MORESBY: 8th April 2006 -- YO
stands for Youth Circle, and it is a long-standing inspiration of Don Bosco
Technical Institute at East Boroko, PM, PNG. YO7, the 7th camp of its
kind, took place last weekend 31st March-2nd April. The Service Team was
'on fire' as they set about serving 104 participants, 89 of whom were candidates
and graduates of the YO7 batch.
YO camps, a tradition at
DBTI, started in 2001 to address the need to empower Bosconians to make an
impact on ordinary life in the school campus. It aims to build friendship
and teamwork amongst them. A YO camp is different to other camps.
Servant Leadership is a main focus. Imagine putting 'Amazing Race', 'X Factor'
and 'Survivor' in one package - there, you've got YO camps! Good music,
fun and prayer are essential ingredients. After camp it carries on as they work
together to initiate and participate in more school activities. Since 2001
there have been 7 batches of the Youth Circle, which began with a humble 19
students to reach its present number of 89.
'Less for
self, More for others, Enough for all' was the YO7 camp theme.
Following the event, participations were refreshed and invigorated - ready for
more! A call for YO8 was sounded. That should be next semester with
new members added.
