Have received feedback from unnamed sources that the application form is very tough....

I must admit that for first-timers, it would be relatively challenging, especially the planning part...

However, it is with much necessity that we place importance upon this section, as what is required from this section is but a mere fraction of the jobs that are to come forth when you are a YGZ. True, you would not need to be doing planning for all 3 groups, but our purpose in asking you to do all 3 groups is because we want to see your creativity, and where your talent lies. Some of you may think you are only suited for Kang Le....but you may surprise yourself in the process of trying to come up with a program for the other 2 groups.

There is no point in rushing out the form..... you are given 7 days, so make use of this time wisely. Draw inspiration from things you read and see, reflect, create, think..... It's not only the most creative programs that we want, but also how well you have thought about other external factors and your campers' benefits.

I encourage all of you to give it a try....there is no harm in trying. At least you know where you stand as you tackle this form. This year's camp will be one of a kind, and we want to ensure that our YGZ are up to the challenge.

You have 5 more days before the deadline. Make full use of this time. The 4 places are very definitely still open. There will only be 9 YGZ for this year's camp, and the other 5 places have been undertaken by very experienced others. Hence, being an YGZ for this year's camp will ensure that you learn a lot as you watch these 5 people in motion as they plan and carry out the camp.

It is an honour to be part of this very small but special role in this year's camp, yet, with it comes lots of hard work, sleepless nights, sweat and tears. I can guarantee you that if you do get this role, it will be but one baby step that you have taken, and the road ahead to the camp is still extremely long.

Take heart in this challenge we have put forth to all of you and don't give up, for it is but a small challenge.

Good luck.
