World Youth day (WYD) is the mega event of 2008. Pope Benedict XVI has invited young people from all over the world to attend, and hundreds of thousands are expected to follow his call. They will celebrate together, renew their faith, make new experiences, meet other young people and get to know the Church as a large but infinite family.
The XXIII WYD will take place on July 15-21, in Sydney , Australia .
To ensure a smooth operation of this international activity, volunteers from around the world will be required. We have registered under the group Volunteers 352. Depending on our assignments, we will be involved in helping to serve meals, provide backstage support, call center work and so on.
In exchange for our services, we will be given free board and lodging plus other benefits. The only thing we need to raise is the regular air fare and other miscellaneous worth around S1257:
It is in this regard that we appeal to you to support us financially.
From this encounter, we hope to bring home wonderful, lasting memories with young people from all over the world. More importantly, we will bring home sense of responsibility that will be enkindled there. We hope to let the WYD experience inflame in our hearts the constant desire to be of service to anyone, anytime, anywhere and anyhow. This is what we can contribute to the good of Philippine society.
Please do support us! Thank you very much. Your generosity will be rewarded. You may reach me at 0906-4736257 or email me at michelle_tapiador@yahoo.com
Yours truly,
Michelle Avegail V. Tapiador
"Wherever your yearnings, your work, your affections are, that is the place for your daily encounter with Christ. It is in the midst of the most material things on earth that we must sanctify ourselves, serving God and all people. Heaven and earth seem to merge, my sons and daughters , on the horizon. But where they really meet is in your hearts, when you sanctify your everyday lives..."- St. Josemaria

when the world youth day was held here back in 1995, my eldest sister was able to attend and see the late Pope John Paul II. now, my younger brother is going to sydney. i just wish i could go too. it would be a great experience. :)
I hope every teenager will have the chance to see your blog.. it is very important for the church to recapture the hearts of youth today.. As emerging adults, we (nakikisama pa ako) must be good persons and have a high reverence to God so we can improve our country
