¿What's the BUS FOR WORLD YOUTH?

The Bus for World Youth (BWY) is an extension of the Ship for World Youth (SWY) program. It was proposed by the Peruvian delegation as a Post Program Activity on SWY 21 (2009) with the objective of traveling through Peru with the same spirit as the Ship, but on a Bus.

Ex-PYs from all batches can join us to visit Peru and to reassure their commitment with society and leadership through volunteer work and donations. During 14 days, from December the 28th of 2009 to January the 10th of 2010, we will travel to Lima, Ica, Arequipa, Puno and Cusco doing touristic visits and voluntary activities to help Peruvian communities. Touristic highlights included in the program are Lima city, Titicaca Lake (Puno) and Machu Picchu (Cusco).

UPDATE: We have uploaded a presentation of the Program. Please, take a look here.


Bus for World Youth AWARDS

The last night that the BWYers spent together was a farewell that nobody will forget! With an un-expected AWARDS CEREMONY!

And here they are, the winners of each category.

There were two categories that were awarded by the Committe as a prize for punctuality and perseverance:

1) The most perseverant
Kahu Gordon (New Zealand)

2) The most punctual
Mohamed Ali (Canada)



And there were three categories in which everybody could vote:

3) Mister cute
First place: Neill Ballantyne(New Zealand)
Second place: Diego Padilla Peru)

4) Miss congeniality
First place: A tie between Lisa Monkman (Canada) & Czarina Moreno (Peru)

5) The most enthusiastic
First place: Gunvor Bottheim (Norway)
Second place: Czarina Moreno (Peru)


Of course an award ceremony wouldn’t be complete without some small but lovely prizes and a photo shoot. But it wouldn’t be fair if only a selected few BWYers received awards, thus all participants received a certificate of completion.

Overall the night was a fantastic end to a fantastic trip, thanks to everybody!!
