MANADO - INDONESIA - YOUNG LASALLIAN CAMP: With the enthusiastic response from many students and support from its members, the Young Lasallian Corps (YLC) of Universitas Katolik de La Salle Manado organized the second Young Lasallian Camp (the first was held on October 2005). The Camp was held on 28-29 April 2006 at the campus building, with just 2 weeks preparation from the YLC Gathering on April 14, while the students were celebrating the Feast of La Salle.

Taking the theme "Friend for All, Lover of the Needy", students were put through the key session led by the new Brother Advisor for YLC, Brother Eustace Amarajothy (from Sri Lanka). In this session, Brother Eustace enlightened students on the key values of being Lasallian, emphasizing on the need to take special attention to the needy. Students were also involved in another input session and discussion on Lasallian Youth, sharing their Lasallian experience with the whole group.

The 2 days camp was filled with a wide range of group exercises and community building games (also with the campfire!), furthering the students' understanding on their existence as one Lasallian partnership. This value was once again highlighted by Father Wahyu's homily on the Sunday Mass, that Lasallian should be one, as the Father and Jesus are also one.

All the inputs were concluded with an action plan for the YLC to carry out during the year 2007, including also preparation for APLYC8 in Singapore.
