In this month’s issue, we feature three of our International Summer Campers Anna, Hitch and Alex and how the camp shaped their lives, inspired them to contribute for positive action in their communities and enabled them to stand for counter-cultural ideas in our world today.

We are inviting all our WYA members in Asia Pacific to apply to for the 5th World Youth Alliance Asia Pacific Emerging Leaders Conference with the theme Upgrading Earth: Maximizing Innovation for Planet and Earth. Application deadline ends on August 31, 2016.

We also continue to invite WYA members to download the Program Guide for the Emerging Leaders of the Arab Region available in Arabic, French and English for free.

Give WYA a gift today. Your contribution helps us continue to build a better world.
