Ghulam Muhammad Awan

(Secretary General)

Dear Camp Participants!!

Assalam- o-alaikum! My name is Ghulam Muhammad Awan and I am Secretary General of Pakistan Red Crescent Society. It is very satisfying and heartwarming for me to engage with young volunteers of PRCS on the occasion of PRCS National Youth Camp 2015. The theme of this year’s Camp is Young, Global, and Active. We, at PRCS, are committed to invest in developing the capacities of young humanitarians who have faith and commitment to selflessly serve the humanity.

In the aftermath of recent disasters that hit different parts of Pakistan, the dedicated volunteers of PRCS have reached out to the affected communities to help them in hostile and dangerous conditions, showing resilience, commitment, solidarity and a vision to stand tall and put collective good before their lives and wellbeing. You make us all proud.

It is our endeavor to equip you with the tools to combat challenges in the most effective manner. We have designed this camp to provide you with maximum knowledge in an interactive environment. The Camp shall be focusing on being Together for Humanity, respect for diversity, youth empowerment, enabling environment for youth and change comes from within. We also aim to promote harmony by exposing you to different cultures and lifestyles.

I wish you all, Good Luck!

(Deputy Director Y&V)

“National Youth & Volunteer Camp to me is not only to provide our youth with a platform to identify problems and make decisions in resolving these issues, but also to empower them with the tools that will enable them to make educated choices and decisions. The youth of today is the future of tomorrow is contradictory to me, because they are our PRESENT NOT FUTURE. We need to invest in them today, and to engage them. Our younger generation has the power and all they need is for us to channelize it.

On that note I welcome you to the camp with a hope that you will make the most of it. Happy camping!”

Saboor Kakar

(National Youth Leader PRCS)

Hello young humanitarians, I am Saboor Kakar National Youth leader of PRCS. The best way to make your dream come true is to wake up.

“You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of. You don't have charge of the constellations, but you do have charge of whether you read, develop new skills, take new lessons and use them first for prosperity, then for yourself. Let’s bring change in our behaviours and serve humanity” 

Sayed Manzoor Jan

Aslam o alikum ,Dear young leaders, my name is Sayed Manzoor Jan, volunteering with Pakistan Red Crescent society since last 8 years. This is a remarkable experience of my life. I am also a facilitator of NDRT ( national disaster response team ), YABC ( youth as a agent of behavioural change ), Youth Development and PSP. Through this journey I have learned one thing "Voluntary service is a Universal ethic, not dependent of social status, wealth or power but rather on enthusiastic people coming together to get great things done". Dear camp leaders possibilities and passion can meet to create a true change. ..so never settle, dream big, give all of your heart, the world needs you, the world need us.

Farhan Sohail

After the 4 successful camps, we are ready to face in 2015, the 5th PRCS National youth and volunteer camp in Islamabad. I find myself honored to be a part of all these 5 camps.

The Youth Camp must not be seen merely as a 6-days experience where the Youth can have fun, true as it may be, but it must be seen in the light of its over-all objectives, to fully appreciate its value and to make the most out of it. We should realize that the Youth Camp is not an end in itself. It is not just for amusement that will give the Youth something to do during 6 days, but it is rather the beginning of what will hopefully be a lifetime commitment towards their responsibilities.

The Youth Camp is a venue where the Youth can form lasting friendships with one another, as well as, share ideas and experiences in a fun and wholesome environment, through active participation in different activities.I hope these 6 days will give you pleasant memories that will last for a long time.Looking forward to welcome you in NYC 2015.

Being a part of management team of this National Youth Camp-2015,  feeling grateful . This is a great opportunity for every volunteer who participates in this Camp. For those volunteers I just say" do not dilute the truth of your potential .We often convince ourselves that we cannot change , that we cannot overcome  the circumstances of our lives.
