Announcement of Results
The AYF organizing committee would like to thank all those who applied for the 2009 AYF summit in Manila. Your application to AYF is already in itself a manifestation that our young people are trying their best to be agents of change. Sad to say, we cannot accommodate all the applicants because of our financial and logistics limitations. With our deepest regrets and heavy hearts, we have to choose only those applicants who we feel are fit at this point.
We have already notified the successful applicants and we have sent them their letter of acceptance. If you have not received a request to join, we regret to inform you that you were not able to be considered for AYF this year. We had to choose only 80 people from a large pool of 250 applicants.
We wish to thank all those who submitted their applications and we hope that those people who could not join us this year can do so possibly next year. Even if you were not accepted to join the conference, you can still take part and support AYF in whatever ways you can. Please do not hesitate to contact us. To those who were accepted, congratulations and we are looking forward to seeing you this December. Please be informed that the committee will not entertain inquiries regarding the results of the screening.
