The Youth Committee for Northern Ireland now has its own Website - visit it here.
Over the past few years an increasing number of our youth have been attending Wetlands, an exciting and spiritually uplifting get-together for youth from Ireland, Great Britain and further afield. This takes place annually. This year, as in years past, it will be held in Wales.
The young people always return charged with renewed energy for teaching the Faith and of belonging to a wider community of Bahá'ís. The Council has always been aware of the benefit, not just to the youth but to the wider community, and are always eager that as many as possible attend. It has been the practise of the Council to subsidise the fares. Travel costs from Northern Ireland are more expensive than most other places in these islands; however, with depleted reserves of our National Fund it will not be possible this year unless we can raise at least some of the money ourselves.
The National Treasurer has set up a special fund for Wetlands and we, in Northern Ireland, should contribute generously. The youth are being invited to look at ways they can raise funds for this project, and the rest of the friends can help by doing one of two things. (1). Support any project youth in your area are undertaking OR (2). Send a donation to the Treasurer of the Bahá'í Council for Northern Ireland. Please make cheques out to NSA of the Bahá'ís of UK.
