Success Story- English

Peace and dearest friends,

Recently, I got an interview with the Success Guide Magazine, on behalf of the founder of Youth Partner in Development and Peace( YPDP), which is a volunteer youth group founded in January 1, 2009 by a group of dynamic young people from different faiths and religions such as Buddhism, Muslim, and Christian, who wish to impel positive social changes and promote solidarity, leadership, culture, development and peace through youth participation and also a cooperation circle of United Religions Initiative ( URI).

The purpose of the United Religions Initiative is to promote enduring, daily interfaith cooperation, to end religiously motivated violence and to create cultures of peace, justice and healing for the Earth and all living beings.

I would like to share with all you about it. Here, you can read more about ypdp,  www.ypdp.wordpress.com ; It is very good that I could share this kind of story to you all in the name of God and URI family. I, myself, have inspired many people, friends, especially you all and other top world leaders. Particularly, the world need more compassionate entrepreneurs like you to develop and to build more a peaceful world & society a round the globe.

Sok Sidon: From a son of a desperate farmer family to become a leader

A number of important indicators, (knowledge, leadership, genius, good communication and network building, humanitarianism and sharing of knowledge and experience to other Cambodian youth), have motivated Sidon to be employed by a locally and internationally famous newspaper. At the same time, he initiated a youth volunteer network called “Youth Partners in Development and Peace (YPDP)” with the objective to develop and promote youth and society through education and to provide them with an opportunity to involve in social development affairs. In addition, he and his friends are currently leading Youth Partners in Development and Peace.

Commitment in Work & Study

Born in a family, whose parents are farmers, Sidon, at the age of 26, graduated a bachelor’s degree in English Literature for Education from BELTEI International Institute.

Sidon was born in Svay Rieng province, the second of eight children, of a desperate farmer family facing many problems and challenges.

He said that although he was born in this situation, he has never had a short thinking. He always keeps in mind this ancient proverb “hard-working leads to success”.  Sidon has struggled with his life until he receives fruitful outcomes.

Considered it as an opportunity, there was a non-governmental organization (NGO) in Sidon’s hometown. He then involved in the social affairs to gain working experience. When he was a high school student, he volunteered as a Health Trainer for a period of a year with Rural Economic Development Association (REDA). After that, he worked with PSI for a position of Peer Educator and Promoter for the Prevention of Reproductive Health Diseases and HIV/AIDS for almost a year in Svay Rieng province.

Because he loved youth’s affairs, he changed to work with Khmer Youth Association (KYA) as a Peace Trainer. In addition, he volunteered in Youth Council of Cambodia (YCC). With other youth, he actively participated to build and develop Svay Rieng’s association. These experiences step by step led his life to success.

Nowadays, if we look at the Cambodian society, a small number of university students not only study, but also involve in social development works. Sidon is no different from others. Based on his background, he has started working since he studied in his hometown. In 2007, he left his hometown (left KYA) to work as a partner with Swedish youth and to continue his study in Phnom Penh. It was also a time for him to work with Youth Partners in Development and Peace. He joined the team, because he loves humanitarian works, especially he sees the suffering and difficulty of the citizens and of a number of poor students in their daily lives. In accordance with his vision, he started to do humanitarian works by not focusing on profit. He said that every time he works as a team or as a leader of the team, he always forgives and appreciates team members without any coercion.

More importantly, he always motivates the weak and those who are lacking some sorts of ability and skill. He added that to work well together, we need to respect, value, sacrifice, and understand the difficulty of each other.

Because of these qualities, Sidon was selected by the team members to participate in program called “Youth Partners in Development” to work in various communities, to exchange culture, and to share knowledge and experience with his Swedish counterpart for a period of 6 months (3 months in Cambodia and 3 months in Sweden). He also participated in a number of regional trainings in India, the Philippines and Indonesia.

Factors leading to success in Work

It should be recalled that Sidon also used to work with American Assistance for Cambodia/Japan Relief for Cambodia (AAFC/JRFC) working for poor children and youth in rural communities.

Nowadays, he is a staff of the Cambodia Daily and at the same time he and his friends are leading Youth Partners in Development and Peace. In fact, this success comes from the result of hard-working, struggle and sacrifice of his own time to work for non-profit. Moreover, to win ourselves, we must believe in ourselves regardless of any circumstances.  We must clearly define our own goal before we decide to do something and dare to punish ourselves sometimes. Sidon added that every individual must have positive thinking toward the work he/she is doing and try to solve all the problems that happen, especially know how to value and appreciate oneself, learn from others and share with others.

 

He also informed the readers that after he has gained knowledge and experience and good communication with others, he and his friends initiated to establish a team named “Youth Partners in Development and Peace”. The purposes are to:

-         help develop human resources and provide chance and benefit to poor youth to be able to continue their study and/or to be employed.

-         share information regarding learning program, scholarship, working experience and success and to provide trainings

Sidon expects that in the future YPDP becomes a center for education for children and youth, especially for school girls in the rural areas. More importantly, he hopes and commits to well manage YPDP and to build good relationship with donor partners to provide benefits to Cambodian youth and society through active involvement from the team members and the support from donor partners.

At the end of the interview, he advised Cambodian citizens that our destiny is defined by us, not by gods or others. As a master of our destiny and our society, we must obtain higher education and build good relationship in the society, especially we should involve in humanitarian works to develop ourselves and our society. Moreover, we must respect and help each other, because it is a key to love, honor, happiness, prosperity and brightness in a person’s life.

The purpose of the United Religions Initiative is to promote enduring, daily interfaith cooperation, to end religiously motivated violence and to create cultures of peace, justice and healing for the Earth and all living beings.

United Religions Initiative Conference in Mayapur, India

URI Young Leaders Program 2008

Introduction

Peace building has become an important dimension of youth to work on after sever years of Religious, cultural and tradition’s conflict. To bring peace in our societies, in country, in our regions and around the world is impossible without Inter-faith harmony and this harmony is possible only when we understand well about other religions. If a country has peace and development, it means it does not have religious & cultural discrimination, that means there the roots of Inter-faith harmony are very strong and deep. However, it is young people who are in the best position to change their societies by working toward peace and Inter-faith harmony.

Above mentioned conference was an opportunity to make myself better equipped and aware to achieve my goal for bringing Peace and harmony in my Society, the opportunity was offered me from our CC (Tarik Traki-e-Insaniat) as I am Youth Coordinator of it. It is going to be held at ISCKON, Mayapur-West Bangal India.

So I traveled with other Pilgrims of Peace from Pakistan on 23^rd Nov.

As we reached Maypur, ISCKON devotees and URI staff warmly welcomed us.

The second day started with sacred opening that makes my feelings peaceful, and I understand clearly about what I need. This morning in inter-faith Sports session I took part in football match. It worked as energizer, which made me closer to other person of the different groups, which was an experience to me that by sports we can strengthen inter-faith harmony. Some people were sharing with each other common moral values of different faith, song of Hare Krishna has been singing, it was a very peaceful and calm atmosphere.

Then Lunch served in a very different way, all sat in the ground and male was served in plates of natural leaves.

Like previous day, the day started with sacred opening. There a workshop, which I attended, held under the topic of “None violent Communication” which was focused on Observation, Needs, Feelings & Request.

This was presented by Suzan Dababneh from Jordan, in a very nice and impressive way. Before I don’t know about the real importance of none violent communication, but now I feeling to have more experience in none violent communication, which will be helpful to me to promote Inter-faith harmony and peace through my communications.

This day the Scared Opening was done by Asia Pacific region’s People, that was a time when I could also took part, and felt contended. Then a meeting held with URI Global Council Trustees that was a very good time to share and learn very new ideas about developing Peace, harmony & bridge building.  That evening we went to Ganges to visit Navadip Hindu Temple, we reached to the temple by riding boats, it was itself a very nice travel. There they explained abut its social values, which were inspiring to me.

On this day a workshop held by Mr.abrar Khan (Lead Facilitator) on “Community Building”. I was member of 31^st group which includes, Mr. Terry, Mr. Tariq & Mr. Alexander. Workshop’s focus was to transform common values of all religions to our children in this way in coming years we can build a community that would be peaceful and enriched with harmony. Secondly, expanding URI in the world, especially in new generation. Stopping wars to build peace. learned a lot of new things about community building, like the concept of transforming common value to our children.

This Workshop taught me well about it and made my vision wider to act effectively.

2^nd Dec

This was another day that was full of learning, after our daily scared opening and meditation I attended two workshops, one by Mr. Yuel Bhatti (Executive Secretary URI MCC Pakistan) on “Using Media Effectiveness”

The focus was on using media to expand our network and explained that its one among the pillar of Peace building bridge. More specifically, he emphasized on the role of youth to get information from the media, for example about use of internet and its importance of providing this information to others.

Second workshop was held by Mr. Jahangir Piara on “Peace building, Spirituality and Education”.

The theme which I understood that ‘the role of youth in building peace is to live together without discrimination, without racism, and without cultural or religious discrimination. We have to have strong solidarity this all is possible when we are closer to our religion, mean stronger spiritually and when we are educated to understand all this.’

4^th Dec

After sacred

opening certificates distribution ceremony held. It was very enthusiastic for me that i got against what i have learned here to promote a Nobel cause. A very delicious dinner was servered to us and we enjoyed the cultural performance and talent show, that was a very memorable moment for me when I took part in cultural show

by vary our cultural dress there was an other moment when I observed Interfaith and inter cultural harmony & solidarity when Sarah Talcott became a bride (wore traditional dress) in our cultural show.

5^th Dec

Daily scared opening proceed to regional meeting (Asia Pacific) to discuss and determine the objective to promote and developed the network of URI. That we shall involve youth in our CCs, to increase numberless of CCs but by keep it in view new coming CCs should play active and efficient role for prevail Peace. Closing ceremony was very different of its kind, friendship bands were given to one another.  Music was running and al participant firstly danced region vise from where they belong, latter all groups of regions mixed up while dancing and it was looking like a single global group. Where it was a moment of joy, there was some regret in are harts, because in last two week’s company we became very close to each other, we were feeling sad because now all were returning to their homes. Anyhow the feeling of building new relations with other religions, cultures and regions overcome that regret.

May God bless us all to spread this light of Peace & Interfaith harmony, to others in our societies which we got from ISCKON.

 

Learning

‘I think that youth have the most important role to make the World peaceful and i have plans to educate youth in order to build a

strong bridge of Peace.

Secondly I learned, to have peace in World we must be peaceful of mind, then try to bring Peace in our Families, then in Society, then Nation and then in the World.

Thirdly we shall transfer our knowledge and information to Children because they are coming rule in all fields of life.

Mainly an idea which I got from ISKON to promote Peace is “Serve Other As You Serve to God”. They served as with great care and love which motivated me to adopt the same in my life.

It will be an opportunity for linking inter-related issues -education, employment, poverty alleviation, human right, civic responsibility, and healthy ecological systems. I thought, It was great rare opportunity for young Cambodians to gather together to discuss on the current problems facing youths and to understand the important of its roles in building a strong cultural, intellectual and spiritual foundation for the future Cambodia. Thank to the Global Peace Initiative of women in partnership with Dharma Drum Mountain Buddhist Association. The forum itself did not only help to provide a platform for the young to discuss the issues, strengthening the network, but it also helped to envision our future plan. How many of us ever think of our future plan? Honestly, I did not think too much in detail of it until I was asked to fill the form of this summit:

1-What is your vision for the future of Cambodia?

2-Where do you see yourself 10 year from now?

Lovely friends I post this question to all of you and hope all of you who did not think for your future plan, please start from now, then you can direct your actions toward your aims.

Cambodia has suffered deeply.

From deep suffering comes deep compassion. 

From deep compassion comes a peaceful heart.

From a peaceful heart comes a peaceful person.

From a peaceful person come a peaceful family and community.

From peaceful communities comes a peaceful nation.

From a peaceful nations come a peaceful world»

The late Venerable Maha Ghosananda.

Way to establish happiness, build and enhance peace, and strengthen the value of life.

Peace and love to all:

From my personal perspective, I think that people in our country are living under poverty situation.  We all want to improve the standard of the living life- all want to live in peace and happiness not just in the past and present time, but also in the future. All do not want to see war and live in war. From this concept of people are thinking and with my own perspective, I understand that we can build our capacities and abilities to achieve our goal to build and enhance peace and strengthen the value of our lives, then we will reach the goal surely is to building peace altogether in society and promote peace, citizens’ positive thinking, creative thinking, philosophy and ethics learning and practices for a peaceful and wonderful living.  The best is keep yourself in positive thinking and practicing, it will help ourselves to challenge each other, our critically to shape our world in order to make it a better place to live in, so that we can reach the joy and tastes of life.

In Peace,

Sidon

Learning and Teaching Methods for Self-Development

Learning and teaching methods for Self-Development, I think it very important and great useful to all human being  to study , think, and share deeply.  I am please to ask you all  to  learn  and share it all  of the useful of these knowledge to all our friends who are not yet getting this knowledge sharing. I got this useful sharing from my good friends who are active  in  sharing information.  I would like to thank them a lot regarding to these  sharing. For this meaning “Learning and Teaching Methods for Self-Development”. They provided 7 inspiring concepts:

1. “Learn for yourself, not for others”

2.“No one can teach you unless you are willing to”

3.“Do not only try to learn by heart”

4.“Do not only focus on a specific skill, but other social skills”

5.“Try to work and learn in team”

6.“Learn from others, especially the experienced and inspirable figure”

7. “Teach other of what you have learnt”

What are the concepts about? What have I had learn?

1. The more we learn, the more we know. It is a way to improve ourselves through learning. Do not wait other to order or ask you to read or study hard. Be proactive!

2. Grammatically, “Learn” is a verb. So we need to do an action. Unless we commit ourselves to learn, it is useless for others to push us. Only when we are willing to do so, we can achieve it.

3. There are three learning style: learning by heart, learning by practice, and learning by analytical thinking. Currently, our education system is adjusted to learning by heart. Therefore, it is necessary that we should change our attitude to be more proactive and critical thinkers.

4. Try to read more and be aware of general knowledge rather than sticking to a point of view.

5. “Many heads are better than one”. Our plan is kept improving by sharing with others. Also we can build our social communication and characters. Competency without Character, we fail. But Competency with Character, we will achieve our goal.

6. A model or a public figure can help to inspire our life. For example, there are two inspiring models of mine. One is the King Javaraman VII who had high leadership and spiritual commitment to his own people. Another one is Gandhi. His concept of “Non-Violence” and struggling character impressed me the most.

7. Try to build leaders surrounding you. Do not afraid that others will be better than you. It will not decrease your ability, but it even help to improve your knowledge and capacity. We will create a multiplied impact.

Question of thoughts from the training:

- What do you see differences between (8+2 = 10) & (10 = 8+2)?

- What have your teachers teach you? And what have you had learnt from them?

- Asked yourself what do you want to see yourself in the next 10 years?

Youth Leadership Challenge Alumni

Peaceful greeting to all:

As we know in our life, we can not predict it how it goes in the future. Mean that no one can predict the future,  so if we do not see  or have our own future or  luck we have to create it.
