From the Editor

Hello Friends,

I hope you are all doing great in the brand new year!

The past year has been very fruitful for YFCI, with many new projects taking root and many young minds joining the team.
One of our ventures, YFCI quarterly magazine is back again asking for your contributions to make it yet another enriching pool of ideas and thoughts which YFCI members can share with each other.

All of us at YFCI, should work together to bring forth the second edition of YFCI magazine and the first in the year 2007. As it was last time, we are going to release the new updated list of Ambassadors at YFCI. And hence, we are asking for country reports and articles from interested members. Your contribution in a way shows your commitment to the YFCI goals and makes you eligible for ambassadorship.

Country report might be in the form of a report or article describing particular aspects of your country, for example:-


Education System
Economic Situation
Culture
Youth Empowerment and activities
Millennium development goals
War and Conflict
Governance
Human Rights
Health
Environment Conservation
Religious Fundamentalism and Extremism

The above topics are not exhaustive and the members can write about country specific problems and activities which they want to share with other members.

The most well researched article will be put up on the “Featured Article” section.

In case, you have an imaginative bend of mind then you can all pen down poetry, short stories, haikus or articles for the magazine.
You can also send your paintings. The only requirement is that the topic should be keeping in terms with YFCI magazine frame.

We also encourage budding photographers to submit their photos. We are looking for interesting clips which capture something unique about their respective countries. It could be anything from traditional dance, nature, people celebrating a festival etc. Come up with something exciting!!!

Members can also send in their resume and a brief one page write up about themselves or any other member they wish to nominate for the position of “Featured Member”. A member with an impressive record in community building and development activities or personal achievements will be selected for the position.

So what are you waiting for people???
Open your writing pads or Microsoft word to scribble your way to the YFCI magazine pages!

The last date for submission is 10th February 2007.

All the best!
