Hi Boys,
Obviously, The boys in Vanuatu are not following our commands and doing things olbout nomo. We are not concerned with numbers at the moment. That is the reason we have not opened it up this year to the 100 plus students here at Laucala. So stop the fundraising and meetings untill we get there. Y-Vision, has just been revivied by a new and vibrant core group with a new sense of direction and we are being careful not to repeat last years fragmantation. Our lesson from past experience highlights the need for us to build our core team. Whether 6months, or 12 months is needed - must do this. We must build and improve in our logistics. We must improve on our Unity as a team and learn to work together. Do not concern yourselves with numbers. Y-Vision is not about quantity but quality.
The ultimate focus of Y-Vision is to effect and empower the people of Vanuatu. We do not need Y-Visionnot to be directly involved in Politics to achieve this. This is clear in our true and concise objectives and statements that we have prepared from Laucala. In that piece of paper lies the Y-Vision pattern of operation. Obviously, this pattern(structure) is still foreign to the core team in Vanuatu. They do not understand the new wave that we are riding on. They are still on the preivous boat and operating from that former mentality. They must not assume that time is running out. There is no need to panic. The full core team of Y-vision should be the ones controlling and screening potential members, not the members directing our pace. The full core team decides the activities that fit into the objectives, not only a few members. This suggests that we still need to work on our Unity. Our logistics is excellent at this side. We need to continue to collaborate at this formative stage. The current priority of the core team in Vanuatu should be to work on compiling a draft Constitution before December 12th when we all have our combine core group meeting. They should concentrate their efforts on that and not worry about the people or numbers. Once we have our new Constitution and are clear on the objectives of Y-Vision then we can direct our efforts in the years to come to well researched initiatives that porvide alternative solutions to impact the economical and social lives of our people. We are pioneers. We are the first of our young generation that God has given this idea to. Don't dream about the next people that will come, because God chose you first to be in the core Team, not them. So believe that you are good enough to carry this out. Thus, let us carry this baby slowly, carefully and surely so that we do not drop it again, like last year.
I hope that the need to be careful and not open up too quickly is understood by all members because the future of a strong Y-Vision is dependant upon a strong foundation. How can you put the roof of a house without adding the walls first and without a strong foundation.
Overall, we are very gald to hear that the boys in Vanuatu are having meetings. We are also having serious meetings at Laucala. What we need to work on now is that we should see the same picture so that we all know the direction of where Y-Vision is going. If we are united, nothing can stop God from achieveing his purpose through Y-Vision - a vision that was given to a few boys who shared the passion of helping their people.
Best Regards,
Francis.
