Message from Peter Wanner    International Advisor

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to the Asian Youth Forum (AYF), an educational experience where youth from various Asian cultures gather to communicate and exchange important ideas in English.  One of the goals of AYF is to build confidence in and create student leaders capable of bridging gaps in cross cultural understanding throughout the world.

Students who participate in AYF can develop strong international contacts with student leaders in other Asian countries.  Sometimes, these opportunities lead to further international work experiences or opportunities to pursue advanced education.  Sometimes, students will have the rewarding experience of meeting someone whom they decide to visit and spend time with in another country when they visit there. 

As International Advisor, I would like to invite you to grasp this unique opportunity to participate in student forums, present in front of conference participants of International Gatherings such as the Pacific Asian Counties Delegation, and truly experience inspiring views of cultures through various types of excursions in the country where the conference is scheduled.  It has been a rewarding and truly wonderful experience to see the youth pursue their goals and follow the reports of their achievements after each international gathering.  It only takes one person to introduce an idea and move things forward. The ideas that these youth long for and desire for the future I believe will truly help make the world a better place to live in. Please consider becoming a part of the AYF family.
