A Junior Youth Class was successfully held at Stutong Baru last Sunday. Our first encounter with the junior youth at Stutong was memorable as it was our very first experience conducting a junior youth class in Bahasa Melayu. Despite the scorching hot afternoon, 7 participants had gathered for the class at one of the participants’ humble home. They were all excited and were full of spirit when we arrived there.

On November 12, a group of four youths comprising Zarrin, Miday, Margeretha and I went with Uncle Balan to Kampung Ipuh Diang for the celebration of the Anniversary of the Birth of Bahá’u’lláh. The next day, 13th November, we organized a junior youth gathering, starting at 8 a.m.

I was in New Delhi between 29/10 to 5/11/2003. It was to attend a seminar on junior youth empowerment program which was held in India at the Bahá’í House between 30/10 to 2/11. The purpose of this seminar was to explore ways to develop human resources and its delivery system effectively. It was attended by representatives from 14 countries, i.e. Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Sabah, Sarawak, United Arab Emirates, Mauritius, Papua New Guinea, Taiwan, Mongolia, Bangladesh, Qatar, Philippine and India.
