IE. The Scout Association.

I would guess the boys scouts and girl scouts.

Ugnayan ng mga Anak ng Bayan (Linking the Children of the Motherland) NY/NJ and Kabataang maka-Bayan USA (Pro-People Youth), convening organizations of Kabataan Partylist — USA Chapter, declare its unwavering support to the Kabataan Partylist in the May 2007 elections in the Philippines.

As immigrant and second-generation Filipino youth, Ugnayan and KmB share the hopes and aspirations of Filipino youth worldwide for genuine progress, social transformation and nation building in our homeland. We understand that the joblessness and crippled education system in the Philippines force thousands of youth and our families to leave the country every day. Corrupt, dishonest, puppet leaders have too long threatened our future, and we as youth want change!

We recognize that now is the time for youth to push for a youth sectoral representative who is honest, principled and pro-people, and will truly represent the interests of the youth as a vibrant sector of the Filipino people both in the Philippines and abroad. Ugnayan and KmB support the Kabataan Partylist representatives and are launching a campaign for their vote in these critical weeks before the election.

The recent arrest of Bayan Muna Representative Satur Ocampo on false charges, the continued incarceration of Anak Pawis Rep. Crispin Beltran, and the impending arrest of Gabriela Women’s Party Rep. Liza Maza are cowardly acts of a regime clinging desperately for power, and show a blatant disregard for the people’s will and democratic vote. We are more determined than ever to educate, organize and mobilize our sector to fight for justice for Ka Satur, Ka Bel and Ka Liza, to demand fair and military-free elections and to support the Kabataan Partylist, in particular, to represent the voice of Filipino youth.

Filipino youth in the Philippines and in the US face common struggles. Here in the US, we demand fair access to education. We resist militarism on our streets and in our schools. We fight for legalization, family reunification and worker protections. We struggle against systemic racism, sexism and heterosexism in all their forms. We strive to create a dynamic counter-culture that is free from the materialistic, career-driven, decadent culture that is dominant in the US. We work for the advancement of our community and link ourselves with the basic masses of youth, students, domestic workers, service workers and women. And we stand with Filipino youth in the homefront who are courageously fighting for our people’s basic rights to life and livelihood.

Kabataang Pilipino, tayo ang pag-asa at kinabukasan. Filipino Youth, we are the hope and the future.

Tayo naman sa Kongreso! Onwards to the Philippine Congress!

Mabuhay ang Kabataang Pilipino! Long live the Filipino Youth!

Mabuhay ang pandaigdigang pagkakaisa! Long live international solidarity!

The Christians in Pakistan are about 2% of its population. The Christian youth needs help to learn job skills and educate themselves — they need lot of information on the kind of education they should go for in order to excel in it. They need business education so that they could initiate their own businesses and find success in it. They need to learn internet and English to enhance their knowledge. There is a need to help male students to find better education and better job so that they could marry with the well literate Christian females, at present there is an unbalance among the sexes at that level which has created social problems . At present there is a need to motivate young people to take up their responsibilities and work hard at it. We would like to work for female youth empowerment and development as well. If the youth is not helped in their soical problems they will become further poor and also will be very depressed and will lose interest in the Church work & society.

Take the help of Gen Musharraf but don’t agree if he offers to open Madrassas for Christians in Pakistan or he’ll turn them into Jehadis!

June 1951, a memorable day and week for our Town, Portadown welcomed HM Queen Elizabeth and the Princess Margaret at the start of Festival of Britain week celebrations. The original plan was that Her Majesty would have accompanied King George VI, unfortunately he was ill and unable to travel and in the circumstances The Princess Margaret accompanied her mother.

The King never recovered from his illness and sadly died 8 months later on the 6th, February 1952; he was succeeded by our present Queen Elizabeth II.

These six clips show various celebrations which took place in Portadown during that week. How many of us remember those events? I do, even though I was only ten years of age then.

Each clip is 7 minutes long, so clear some time to view the complete 40 minutes in six parts. You will see our youth organizations, sports in the Public Park and Shamrock Park, displays of Portadown Unit of the Territorial Army and our Fire service Brigade, not forgetting street scenes and the many local dignitaries of the time. You may even catch a glimpse of your parents or grandparents or yourself!

A lot of my Israeli friends keep saying that this is a sad day for them and what a horrible event this is, and I don’t know what they’re talking about. What happened? I searched on Google and Hebrew news sites and I didn’t find anything..
Gosh you guys have no heart. There was a shooting. I found out when Tel Aviv became a trending topic on Twitter..

It was so horrible. There was a support group for teenagers, both in and out of the closet, in Tel Aviv. Teenagers from all over the country came to participate. Because of their sexuality they were attacked. Police immediately closed all gay clubs, bars, and hangouts for the rest of the night. Later on there was a spontaneous pro-gay rally. I only found out about it this morning, I had gone to bed by the time the rally had started, but it’s a shame, I would have went.

It was terrible. Someone tweeted it last night and my brother and I went downstairs and watched it live for a few hours (we live in Israel)… I just can’t believe people sometimes. And to attack teenagers at that.

Since some of these kids were still in the closet, their parents didn’t know they were there, imagine having to call from the hospital and breaking the news to them this way… and just imagine the dead’s parents, if they didn’t know their kids were gay…

I would like to work with youth girls in just about any capacity, but I would also like to be paid for my work. I am a recent college graduate. Any advice will help

Let me give you some good advice about working for children and youth non -profit, faith-led organizations. It is very rewarding work and it is very important work, but do not bring up the subject of money—you will never be selected. I work for a children’s ministry without pay—I have another income. Children’s ministries and other non-profit youth organizations are looking for committed people who are willing to donate their time—-this is not a field that you get into for the money. Money is sometime available, but it is not much. The emphasis is on what YOU can do for the children and youth, not what the organization can do for you. If money is your interest, then stick to corporate American where the money AND the misery is, especially the misery.

Lots of them!
