Lasallian Day of Prayers for Peace (LDOPP 2010)

To note down in your planner - Project CRC, LDOPP 2010, Formation Team Weekend 2 !!! Ok, you don't have to take part in EVERY initiative, but it would be great if you can join us for at least one.

Come on and remind yourself how crazy Lasallians are (kabbadi, captain ball, gala panjang, Nasmir?) and how we all have a good heart deep, deep, deep down somewhere that disturbs us and makes us want to do something for society!

Read on for more information on LDOPP 2010 (to save your time, it's similar to the one on Facebook).


The idea of LDOPP actually came from the International Symposium of Young Lasallians held in Rome in 2006. As a result, the International Council of Young Lasallians (ICYL) invites Lasallians all over the world to come together for an International Lasallian Day of Prayers for Peace, as ONE International Lasallian Community during the 3rd week of October.


We hope that this year will be the 4th consecutive year that LDOPP is held all over Malaysia. And to do that, we need your help!

LDOPP is not just a day of prayers. It is also a day to share information through exhibitions, or a day of charity to reach out to others, or more.

The purpose of LDOPP is to unite Lasallians and show that we believe in peace, as well as equality and respect for everyone. We believe that we can do something, big or small, to make this world a better place.


Each year, we discuss different issues for LDOPP, such as war and child abuse. This year, our theme is 'COLOURBLIND'! Can you guess what our issue is?

The LDOPP kit is currently being put together by volunteers from the FT. Now we need YOU to be our coordinator.

Task of a coordinator:
- Contact students in one Lasallian school.
- Ensure that they receive the LDOPP kit and understand it.
- Guide them in the process of organising activities in conjunction with LDOPP.
- Be the link between the students and La Salle Centre should there be any problems or questions.
- Indirectly contribute towards the success of passing the message of LDOPP to different communities.
