YPD Japan on the move!

Although there are a few members of YPD Japan, we are motivated enough to work together! we bought handicrafts directly from villages of Thailand, some are made by YPD Chiangmai Team. We sold them in Japan to support YPD Chiangmai and YPD Karen. Jean-Joseph(YPD France) living in Japan came help YPD Japan. Everytime we do something, we meet young people to help us. This is the YPD work!

Green WYD dialogues with Western MPs

Vince, Kins and Charles went to the Victoria Parliament Building to dialogue with the Western Members of the Parliament as a way of profiling the Green World Youth Day program. Water for Life as the theme of the program was received with much enthusiasm by the MPs and encouraged the holding of this international program at the Western Region.

The said meeting was facilitated by Mr. Thelmo Languillier, MP for Derrimut District. Mr. Languillier was once a student leader in his time at the Victoria University.

The Concert

We did not draw millions of crowds, there were no screaming fans nor hyped up paparazzis. It was a tame concert to the standards of many. It was a parish concert attended by the locals and the performers were from all over Melbourne.
