Empowering Gilbert Camp Youth: A Successful Awareness on Elections
On April 14, 2024, our team achieved a significant milestone by conducting an awareness program on elections, held at the Gilbert Camp for the Gilbert Camp Adventist Youth. Alwyn Maesulia, a dedicated member of our team, spearheaded this initiative, emphasizing the critical role of youth engagement in electoral processes.
During the event, Alwyn passionately articulated the importance of youth participation in elections. He underscored how the youth can actively contribute to fostering clean and fair elections, emphasizing their potential to drive positive change within their communities and the nation at large.
One of the key focal points of Alwyn’s presentation was the necessity of fact-checking information during electoral periods. He elucidated on how misinformation can negatively impact electoral outcomes and urged the youth to be vigilant and discerning when consuming and sharing information related to elections.
The awareness program not only educated but also inspired the young participants, instilling in them a sense of responsibility and empowerment regarding their role in shaping the future through democratic processes. The engagement and enthusiasm displayed by the Gilbert Camp Adventist Youth during the event were truly commendable, signaling a promising trend of active civic involvement among the younger generation.
As we move forward, we remain committed to nurturing and amplifying the voices of youth in our society, recognizing them as catalysts for positive change and progress in our democratic landscape.
