Beautiful People of the World...

So there I was, spending FUNtastic days with wonderful people of the world in Renaissance 2006 Youth Leaders Invitation program held by the Cabinet Office of Japan.

We, the participants were the participating youth who joined Ship for South East Asian Youth Program (SSEAYP) and Ship for World Youth (SWY).

The 40 participants joining this Renaissance program were divided in two different course groups, NPO Management and Social Contribution Activities. Hm-hm, sounds really serious... but the fact was, we did serious thing.. but in the same time we shared so much laughters, good times, and of course, beautiful friendship... :)

I will describe more about this inspiring program soon.. but meanwhile, take a look at these pictures... the pictures of beautiful people of the world who posses the similar passions of understanding others and doing something good for the world where they belong... :)

I begin with group photos, then let's go to the descriptions of serious stuffs and project plans, then go up close and personal, and hum, of course, a discussion on Soba (buckwheat noodle) will be part of this blog too.. :p
