Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Greetings from APAY!

We are happy to invite National Movements and young people to be a part of our 4th International YMCA Youth Peace Camp to be held from 4 - 10 August 2009 in Timor Leste. This is a multi-lateral partnership programme of the Asia and Pacific Alliance of YMCAs in collaboration with the YMCAs of Japan, Korea and Timor Leste (ANJUCTIL).

Into its 4th year, the Peace Camp will focus on ¡§Understanding Our Differences¡¨. As they work with the community, participants will facilitate and initiate community peace programmes that promote respect for diversity and to learn to live together in harmony as a way to reconciliation and peace.

This year¡¦s camp will be coordinated by the ANJUCTIL. We request that all registrations be sent to Mr. Orasio Mendes (anjuctilorasio@gmail.com), Executive Director of ANJUCTIL, with a copy sent to Ms. Cristina Dalope, our Executive Secretary for Programmes by 15 July 2009.

Attached are the Programme Information and Registration Form.

We look forward to your support and participation in this Peace Camp.

Yours sincerely,

Kohei Yamada
General Secretary
