Madurai – India - Young Lasallians National Gathering in India: During the month of August, some 95 Young Lasallians representing 14 different Lasallian projects of the Delegation of India participated in a two-day leadership camp that was held near Madurai, India.

There were presentations, group discussions, interactions, and sharing of views. The gathering came to an end with a colourful cultural stage programme fitting to the theme of leadership.

Participating at the gathering were 12 junior novices of the Delegation and a number of the children from the Tsunami affected area in which some Brothers now work. “The most striking thing about the programme,” reported one Brother, “was how wonderfully the Tsunami-victimised children got involved … This was an opportunity for them to come out of fear.”

Brother Jeyakumar, the Lasallian Youth Coordinator for Indian Delegation who because he was refused an Italian Visa unable to be in Rome in July for the International Symposium of Young Lasallians, was happily able to be part of this program.
