I am so happy that I was invited and became a participant in the recently concluded  Bayanihan Youth Camp with the theme “Building Shared Vision”. This was held at the Lord’s Grace Garden in Looc, Calamba, Laguna.

It was a wonderful experience for me.  To be a part of this life changing seminar was a great privilege because of the learning and knowledge  that I got from all the activities and workshops I went through.

The workshop helped me love God love even more as well as the country that I belong with. This is because of the personal vision that I constructed during the  valuable workshops and fun-filled activities that I participated in. I learned to have a selfless vision and how to make it happen in small steps.

Vision is important to every man because it urges him to continue living even in the world of restlessness and one’s immediate environment of hopelessness. We need vision because it makes us keep standing still for a better and brighter tomorrow.

I will never forget this wonderful experience. It really changed me a lot. I will share this experience to all my neighbors,  relatives,  friends and of course to my family.
