An Appeal to our SCM and WSCF Senior Friends

Why an Appeal?

Many of us have had unforgettable experiences in the SCMs and WSCF. I’m sure that you will agree that we have gained so much from our involvement in the SCM and WSCF and have brought about meaningful
changes in our own lives.

It has opened up our young minds to new perspective and viewpoints. It has provided us a unique space to challenge each other and make meaningful contributions in our societies. Most of all, we gained friends and comrades from far away places, many of whom have become lifetime friends, comrades and partners in life.

Because you believe that the same experience is worth sharing to the younger generation, and you believe that the vision of the SCMs and WSCF continues to inspire many young people today.

Purpose of the Appeal?

Here are some of the reasons that continue to inspire many young people from all over.

• In Sri Lanka: giving hope to young people in a time of war and conflict
• In Bangladesh: building capacity of young women to discover their potentials and gain confidence as leaders
• In Hong Kong: building critical thinking among students and alternative space
• In Korea: engaging students in meaningful encounters with cultures of other people, taking care of our neighbors
• In Indonesia: working together with people of other faith
• In Philippines: struggling for human rights, peace and justice
• In Myanmar: helping displaced people find meaning in their life

The purpose of this Appeal is to support the projects and to help sustain the work of the national movements in 17 countries, where there are SCM still active and contributing in their own way. [read on]
