During the mission week, Jam realized how he has been taking his blessings for granted as he witnessed how the Aeta children got so excited in eating Adobo.

Jam attended the Mission Week last October 2011 where he had a significant life-changing experience.

Before the Mission week, Jam would compare himself to others and think that he is less fortunate than them.

After the mission week, he decided to cook for his family out of gratitude for Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blessings to him.

Some of the students whom he invited shared CYA’s impact on them.

“CYA helped me to be confident in sharing my God-given talents. I now sing worship songs as my service to God and my brothers and sisters.”

“I used to be afraid of making commitments. In CYA, I met people who were faithful and responsible even in small matters. It encouraged me as I am now making my own commitment to CYA.” Sayre Bongo (2nd yr, Mapua)

â&#x20AC;&#x153;As young people, you are entitled to receive from previous generations solid points of reference to help you to make choices and on which to build your lives: Like a young plant which needs solid support until it can sink deep roots and become a sturdy tree capable of bearing fruit.â&#x20AC;?
