8th Southern Regional Lasallian Convention 2010

On the 9th to the 11th of April 2010, a congregation of 35 delegates inclusive of Paulians, Franciscans and Andreans came together at the Good Shepherd’s Seminary in Malacca for the Southern Regional Lasallian Convention 2010. This year’s convention marks the 8th such event organized which was under the supervision of La Salle Centre’s very own Isaac Stephen and his organizing team. “Catalyst of Change” was this year’s theme which was chosen in hope of giving the delegates a new perspective on playing their roles as Lasallian Leaders.

This year’s convention was without a doubt, a resounding success. Fortunately enough I was able to be part of the organizing team in this year’s convention which was a completely different experience for me altogether compared to being a delegate. Needless to say the responsibility was greater, although I was left with a greater deal of satisfaction. It was refreshing to witness the fresh faces of delegates enjoying themselves throughout the convention which made all of the preparation and hard work that the organizing team went through worthwhile.

It’s fair to say that everyone one of us had something to take from the convention including the organizing team. We emerged as different individuals, each with many resolutions but with a common ambition which is to reach out and make a difference and to be the catalyst of change.
