Character and Leadership Training for Thai Youths

You who are young, make the most of your youth.
Relish your youthful vigor.
Follow the impulses of your heart.
If something looks good to you, pursue it.
But know also that not just anything goes;
You have to answer to God for every last bit of it.

                                                                 Ecclesiastes

In our ministry to youths, the Foundation for Life realize that they are actually filled with energy, but unfortunately many a times, this energy has been channelled in wayward paths, causing heartaches and pain to their loved ones and to themselves. In their vibrancy and enthusiasm, their quick decisions are made without regard to possible damaging consequences.

Thus purposeful and intentional programs has been planned so that their energies are harnessed for their own growth and enjoyment, benefiting themselves and others. One of which is that we run yearly national leadership camps to train and give these young leaders the skill-set and the philosophy of a true servant-leader. .... with the goal of letting them be involved in the planning and the running of National Camps for the youths and children in the Foundation.

Our diligent staffs have been liaising and coordinating meetings for the youth leaders in the city as well as the upcountry villages, so that they can help plan and decide the programmes in the National Camp for the girls and and the boys this July. Through this event, our young leaders learn to work as teams, use their creativity and energies responsibly, so that campers will have a great time in camp and make new and lasting  relationships.

Says Nurse (nickname), now 16 years old, "I have been with the program since I was in primary school. Through years of training and practice as a young leader, I see myself grow in responsibility and confidence, as I learn how to lead the younger ones, knowing that I am a living example to them."

"I am so  grateful that my leaders trust me enough to let me lead in the weekly activities, and that has indeed honed my leadership skills and helped me get along with all kinds of people."said Makuer, who has been leading other boys and children for the past 3 years, since he was 13 years.

Along the same trend, our Foundation is also grateful that donors trust us enough to partner with us and allowing us to mould the next generation of young, vibrant people who are compassionate that will lead their peers for the good of their local communities.
