Meeting with Edmund for YLF Singapore
Monday, October 24, 2005
I had a group-meeting (Lingesh, Laremy, Shane, Shamantha and Joseph were there too) with Edmund regarding the participation in Youth Leaders Foundation (YLF) Singapore. I was tired from the lab session and the test; closed my eyes for a few times during the meeting.
Just a bit on YLF. It is a non-governmental organization that envisioned to be the "foremost youth leadership developer in the world". They do this by partnering schools and providing resources for youth leadership development. There are chapters in Australia and New Zealand; the Singapore chapter was setup 2 years ago. Edmund covered many points. But the gist is that he is recruiting a core team of 15 members to formulate the syllabus for the leadership training workshops to be held for secondary and JC students. As members of this core group, we will also be the pioneer training facilitators for Boon Lay Secondary School.
This is not a chance to be missed. Leadership has always been my interest and I am excited to know that I might be able to join YLF to come up with the training programme for students. Work will start in December and will take us through January. I have not seen the actual template, which is a 45- module course from the States, that we are going to work with; for now, I am impressed with the visions and goals of YLF. The idea of giving back to the community really excites me; furthermore, it is through something I like doing: being a leadership trainer. But I'm a bit concern about not being with the team should I be accepted by Lund Uni for SEP next semester. Which by the way, reminds me that I have not received the letter from Lund. Maybe I should write to IRO to ask them.
