The IYF World camp allows our students to
Jun. 11, 2010
learn about the world of the heart thus enabling
Jun. 11, 2010 the students to obtain healthy hearts. A per-
son who is physically weak will easily be sick or
Jun. 11, 2010 lose courage while a healthy person is able to
overcome burdens or challenges.
This camp is focused on developing
stronger hearts among youths that will allow
them to overcome challenges, temptation and
obstacles they will have to face in their lives.
That is how IYF has been training and culti-
vating the future leaders with its diverse pro-
grams developed through its experiences with
youths over the years.
 The Ministry of Education is delighted to be
associated with and indeed to officially
endorse the 2010 International Youth
Fellowship (IYF) World Camp Jamaica.
We extend a warm welcome to all stu-
dents and young persons from across
the island and an especially warm wel-
come to the overseas students who are visit-
ing our island home, Jamaica.
It is well known that in our society and perhaps the same
