It is said that volunteer activities can foster enormous leadership skills and that
the non professional volunteer world is a laboratory of self realization. The
Hermon Marthoma Church Youth Fellowship has been focused since inception on
broadening the spiritual horizons of its budding youth members by introducing
them to voluntarism for a spectrum of great causes.
Ten members of the Hermon Marthoma Church Youth Fellowship accompanied by
our Vicar Rev Sam Abraham took park in “The 2007 Zoo Atlanta GREAT STRIDES
WALK” on May 5, 2007. This was a 5K walk organized to increase awareness
and raise funds for finding cure for Cystic Fibrosis. After talking part in the walk,
the youth members also got the chance to manage some stalls as well as the
cleaning operations in the food tents.
Needless to say, it was a unique opportunity for the youth members and they
relished every moment of the event. The participants came back with a rich
experience. As a church we plan to organize more such “value adding” trips in
the coming months.
