BISDS Youth Group was founded in 2001 by Brother Vincent Oh. It was meant to be an avenue for youths to hone their living skills and also to meet and share different experiences through the spirit of Kalyana Mitra (spiritual friendship).
What started out as a small group of friends has grown today into an active, ever present contigent of youths with a common purpose.
Our first large project was to carry out the Children's Fellowship Camp which had been organised since 1999. The first Children's Fellowship Camp were organised by the BISDS teachers and assisted by the youths. Overtime, the youth group slowly took over the planning and administration of the camp.
Another main project which has been hugely successful throughout the years is the BISDS Youth Camp organised annually for the BISDS students aged 13 to 17 years old. The aim is to enrich the lives of the youths by spending their holidays with good acquaintances and to be touched by the Dhamma.
The BISDS Youth Group is also responsible for assisting the school in organising activities such as the Wesak Day celebration, Mooncake Festival celebration and regular events occuring in the temple.
