Dear Joynetters, After a break for sometime I am writing to you again regarding the One month Cultural exchange program for youth. These days we have received several encouraging responses from different dioceses from different parts of the country. Participation of atleast 10 youth and an animator from 8 dioceses have already (almost) confirmed. The dioseses are Chanda (Maharashtra), Indore (Madhya Pradesh), Jammu and Kashmir, Varanasi (Uttarpradesh), Bhagalpur (Bihar), Belgam (Karnataka), Krishnagar (West Bengal), Khandwa (Madhyapradesh). Sr. vigi Rose is making arrangements to bring youth from the states of Chattisghat and Jharkand (the newly formed states). Actually it was Sr. Vigi Rose who started such a kind of movement as far as Jesus Youth is concerned. We are expecting a rather big group from these places. Another big group is being expected from Gujarat.The Gujarat JY service team and the leaders there are making arrangements for that. The following is from a letter which I have written to you previously. One major thing planned along with the conferece is one month cultural exchange program for youth in which rural / tribal youth from all the states of the country are invited to come to kerala and to live with the youth in kreala (JY). Can you do any or all of the following. 1. Pray for the success of this missionary initiative. 2. Arrange the coming of youth from the dio's outside Kerala 3. Influence the people who can arrange the coming of such youth. ( Do you have some friends or priests, sisters who can arrange the coming of youth) 4. Meet the Bishop , youth director of the diocese, Provincials and other responsible people and impress them about the importance etc. 5. Any other thing which is appropriate in this case The details of the program can be sent to you separately. All those who are interested in assosiating with this endevour, please write to me. Your immediate help is needed. Already letters and reminder letters and details are sent to all the Bishops etc. All the expenses of the participants after reaching kerala will be met by the organisers. I request you to pray intensely for this endevour in your groups too. Chackochan Njavallil.
