WYA Croatia Week and the WYA Family experience
I’ve always loved to travel, see new places, learn something new from each culture, delve into their customs. Therefore, I was beyond happy when WYA Europe told me they were going to send me to Zagreb for five days for the WYA Croatia week. I knew I was going to visit the city, as well […]
Chapter 1: My WYA Story
Four days could really make a difference. I proved that statement when my friends and I joined the first ever Chapter Leadership Training or CLT here in the city of Iloilo in the Philippines.
The Best Time of My Life
The first few times I ever encountered the World Youth Alliance (WYA) was when three of classmates talked about it when they joined the summer camp back in 2015, and last January when the WYA Iloilo Chapter held a seminar for high school students. After those encounters, I started to do more research on WYA […]

A Thousand Miles, A Thousand Memories
I came thousands of miles away to the country of the Philippines to do an internship and to explore something new—perhaps a walk on the beach, or a dive into the sea. Different scenarios ran through my mind, but I didn’t actually expect to join World Youth Alliance (WYA) Asia Pacific’s Tenth Summer Camp. The […]
