Youth - awesome!

Just a very brief word about "Gen Y".....

This summer that is almost drawing to an end has been traumatic and horrifying what with floods, cyclones, fires and earthquakes. It is hard to imagine so much trauma could fit into such a short space of time.

Well I just want to put this thought out there.....

They say young people (gen Y) are entitled, soft and selfish. I think that what we have witnessed has put paid to that. The volunteers that have shown up to help with clean up, encouragement, and helping in whatever way they can has been made up of many different ages - however, no one can deny that the massive number of young people has been staggering and inspiring.

They have proven that gen Y's when fronted with something bigger than themselves, are big enough and selfless enough to give their time, energy, courage and compassion to do whatever is needed to help out.

I reckon with these young people our future is looking bright - I think these young people are awesome!

Gen Yers, hold your heads up, pat yourselves on the back and go into your future with confidence... you're certainly up for it!

With love,
Lynda
