Indeed we have come a long
way.
As we celebrate this year’s
growth, I would like to share four points that I think we should remember.
Value
Let us value the things that
matters. Each of us has different experiences as volunteers. May we value the
real essence of what we are fighting for. May we also value the people who are with us
as we move forward, and value the growth we have had for the last four years.
Yearn
May we continue to have a
strong and genuine desire to continue what we have started despite the
difficulties and struggles we face in everyday. May we yearn to do more, to give
more, to share more, and to live more for the good of oneself and others.
Learn
May we seek not just knowledge
but rather wisdom for all the experiences that we have. May we continue to
learn from each other’s stories and challenges. May we continue to advocate the power of the
youth to educate and become agents of change for a better, brighter and
healthier Philippines. And, may we
continuously seek to learn and not limit ourselves to what we are accustomed
to.
Hope
May we find hope amongst
ourselves that despite the difficulties and challenges of being one at all
times. May we find hope in the cause that we are fighting for, and draw
strength from within as we continue to move forward towards further growth and
development. May we also find hope from
every individual that we meet because there will come a time that things will
be better off as they are now.
As we celebrate our 4th
anniversary in our own unique and creative ways, may it be true to all to light
four white candles representing our growth, and fly four VYLH colored balloons,
where our wishes are tied, before sun sets at the end of this week.
May every VYLH
cluster/division let go of their wishes for the organization and offer the
purest of our intentions to the Almighty.
My heartfelt gratitude for the
opportunity of being one among the few to be part of an organization one can
always be proud to call our own despite the distance or challenges which everyone
may find on their way back to a place we call home.
Happy 4th Anniversary VYLH!
In humble representation of
your great accomplishments, my salutations and congratulations for another
successful year full of values, yearning, learning and hope
With much honor,
Christian Emmanuel "Kuya Emman" P. Enriquez RN
VYLH-Philippines National President
2012-2014
