NESCAP: A Proposal
Senior friends have been an integral part of the Student Christian Movements (SCMs) in the Asia-Pacific region. They have played an important role in the life of the SCMs. They have also been a great source of support, guidance and motivation to the SCMs in the region. Most of the past and present leaders of the ecumenical movement have an SCM background and at some stage or the other they have played, and continue to play, the role of senior friends. [read on]
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.
Here are some of the reasons that continue to inspire many young people from all over.
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]
