It has been QUITE A WHILE since THE AQUINAS has updated this blog of his - owing to the usual and blogspot-overused excuse of being occupied, committed to real-life commitments, competing priorities etc etc. Therefore, THE AQUINAS thinks that he should at least one post before this wonderful year of 2010 ends.
Since THE AQUINAS mentioned "real-life commitment" at the top of this post, he will tell his dear readers out there what he is so committed to this past few months - among a few other commitments, one stands out - The Global Youth Symposium 2010.
The Global Youth Symposium 2010, or the GYS'10, is student-driven international event where students from all around the world converge and voice out their thoughts and opinions on the pressing global issues affecting our world today. This ambitious movement sets out to gather the views of young people from all around the world and ultimately put these important views together into a significant document called the GYS'10 Declaration - a significant document containing roadmaps, suggestions and solutions to these global issues.
That is just not all about it, dear readers. We are stepping it a notch, whereby this Declaration will be subsequently sent to government leaders worldwide as a form of positive pressure and youth activism. In other words, this GYS'10 is like the mini-UN. How's that for young people running a global show, eh?

Back to the early mention of commitment, this is the cause that THE AQUINAS has been committed to, and still committing himself to, for the past few months. That is because yours truly, THE AQUINAS is the Director of this ground-breaking initiative of the young generation of today. THE AQUINAS truly feels more than grateful for the opportunity of holding the mantle and pedestal, leading a team of talented young people in making this event a great success.
The GYS'10 si just around the corner - and THE AQUINAS means it literally. The GYS'10 will be held from the 16-20 December 2010, and he hopes that this Symposium will serve as a beneficial and fruitful platform in realising the true objective of the GYS'10 - that is to promote youth activism and leadership, a cause that is dear to his heart.
It is also, realistically, a yardstick and field test for us the Organising Committee, to see how far we have come and achieved, considering the amount of dedication and effort we have collectively put together for these past few months.
P/S: The time where this generation faces the task of fixing the s**t that the previous generations had made; has come.
THE AQUINAS has spoken.
