Suryoyo Youth came from all over the eastern parishes of the Archdiocese, and they exceeded 200 participants. The youth convention committee prepared a very interesting program for the guests to enjoy. Other than trips and entertainment plans, they provided a very good educational program that included religious, spiritual, social and heritage projects. Female Viagra
They had two lecturers, Malfono Gabriel Sawma, and Shamosho Adnan David. The first speaker talked about the privilege of the Syriac Identity, throughout the ages, and how to reflect it in our lives everywhere, especially in the diaspora. The second speaker talked about the Christian faith, and how to face the challenges facing it, particularly in the present time, where governmental and liberal organizations are fighting it ferociously. Malfono and shamosho encouraged them to continue the fight our forefathers fought and won throughout history.
One of the most important activities of the convention was an Open Forum. The Panel consisted of His Eminence, Rev. Fr. Yacoub Youhanoun, Very Rev. Fr. Andrew Bahhi, Dr. George Bitar, Miss Helma Adde and Shamosho Philip Akdemir. It was a very informative question and answer program.

The Youth enjoyed trips and a Banquet that gathered them in a very family- oriented type, that brought happiness and concord to all. How to get Modafinil online
