Connecting People with Communities in Need
4th University Scholars Leadership Symposium Share Moments. Share Life.
August 1 to 7, 2013 | Manila, Philippines
University Scholars Leadership Symposium One thousand of the world’s Outstanding Youth Leaders will come together for the 4th
University Scholars Leadership (USL) Symposium in Manila, Philippines. This annual event hosted by Humanitarian Affairs United Kingdom is specially designed to provide the next generation leaders an understanding of key sustainable development challenges, and to motivate them to realise their potential as agents of change through challenging training with diverse international peers and inspiring interactions with experienced humanitarian leaders. The program will allow Youth Leaders from Top Institutions of Higher Learning and NGOs the necessary knowledge and skills to initiate humanitarian services to the Global Poor and work with communities towards their development. It will also provide them with opportunities for growth and involvement. The University Scholars Leadership Symposium will engage participants and enable them to deliver humanitarian aid to disadvantaged communities in poverty-stricken and disaster-prone nations.

Humanitarian Affairs Humanitarian Affairs provides a venue for young people to be trained in doing social
development work in order to nurture them into world-class citizens with a global mindset towards alleviating the problems of communities in need.
It runs programmes across different nations through the relief efforts they extend to countries and communities that are poverty and disaster-stricken. Humanitarian Affairs believes that encountering different cultures and providing aid to those suffering abroad facilitates both intellectual and emotional development for the young people it mentors. Through its projects, Humanitarian Affairs aspires to transform momentary feelings of compassion into a long-lasting sense of responsibility, community and sympathy for the Global Poor. Humanitarian Affairs is a London-based non-profit, non-government organisation. Humanitarian Affairs Asia is its Asia Secretariat based in Thailand. This Office administers the annual University Scholars Leadership Symposium and other programmes and projects held in the Asia and Pacific Region. Humanitarian Affairs is a member of the World Association of Non-Governmental Organizations and the World Alliance for Citizens Participation.

What is the Impact of the Symposium? Our Outstanding Delegates Brandon Louise Medrano (Philippines) Brandon decided to do something worthwhile after attending the Pattaya Symposium. He set-up a Humanitarian Affairs Chapter in his college to benefit more young people. Under his leadership, the HA Chapter was able to collect 21,800 plastic bottles in a single day. The collected bottles were recycled and funds raised were used to buy 171 chairs for a school in the Isabella Province of the Philippines that was devastated by the Typhoon Washi back in 2011. In 2012, Brandon became part of the top 81 delegates of the 15th batch of the Ayala Young Leaders Congress.
Ibrahim Olouch (Kenya) Ibrahim was a delegate of the first and second USL Symposium. Ever since his participation in the two Symposiums, he had coordinated with the organisation to set-up Humanitarian Affairs Chapters in three African countries and has recently organised a training camp to teach more African youths on sustainable livelihood.
Teresa Seminara (Canada) In May 2011, Teresa was awarded with the Youth Medal by the Quebec Lieutenant Governor for her work with Humanitarian Affairs and through the Humanitarian Affairs Chapter which she initiated after having been inspired to do humanitarian work by participating in the USL Symposium in Melaka in 2010.

What is the Impact of the Symposium?
Connecting People with Communities in Need
Living in a third world country, I was exposed to numerous instances of poverty and deprivation in everything from health services to the quality of education for men, women and children alike.
My humanitarian journey with Humanitarian Affairs has given me a wider perspective of the remarkable things that can be achieved through the collaboration of young minds blessed with a passion and commitment to helping alleviate the dilemmas that have blighted humanity for centuries.
Being a group facilitator enabled me to witness first-‐hand the mixture of bursting emotions that are awakened in co-‐delegates as they come to the realisation of just how fortunate they are and find themselves learning much more from the disadvantaged children than we had ever hoped to teach them.
Indeed, my time with Humanitarian Affairs was much more than just a trip; it was a life-‐transforming journey -‐ one that I will never forget and one that I most definitely hope to repeat. Von Cathlene Panot Philippines
My involvement with Humanitarian Affairs made me realize that there is a bigger world out there crying for our help. I really learned more about others and myself during this humanitarian journey and would like to encourage others to do so.
Before leaving, I knew my trip would be a life-‐changing experience. Yet the impact it had upon me was greater than any I had ever experienced. My advice for those who are still contemplating [membership in Humanitarian Affairs] is to get involved and be ready to serve. It will transform your vision and your values in life. Diana Sitoianu Romania
It was a life-‐changing experience for me when I realized that there are millions of disadvantaged children in the world who are deprived of a basic education.
It is my hope that each of us will do our part in a life-‐long fight against poverty. Let's reach out to those at the bottom rungs in our societies. As Norman Rice once said, "Dare to reach out your hand into the darkness, to pull another hand into the light. Laura Archibald Australia
Going to Humanitarian Affairs Learning Journey gave me a lot to think about, because I thought that I would be bringing the people there so much, but when I arrived I found I could only give so little of myself, and take so much back from them in return.
I learnt many new things along the way, and it is the accumulation of small lessons that contribute to the gradual life changing, earth-‐shaking, tear-‐inducing process that is growing and maturing.
I believe that it is in our hands to make the world better, and we are far more interdependent that we initially realize. We need to work in collaboration, to make use of the available resources and to start taking action. If we don't, no one else will. Fernando Barbosa Bolivia
Perhaps we should just have sent them money -‐ wouldn't that have been more useful than going ourselves? I don't think so. What we gave them was a few days of fun and entertainment, transient and fleeting.
But I know that the memory of those days will linger in their minds and in their hearts for years to come. People need love more than they need money, and if nothing else, we showed them that we cared by being there with them. And I know this mattered to them. I felt such love and gratitude from the children when we cooked for them that I came close to tears. Yuri Hirayama Japan
I learned so much from the Learning Journey with the orphans and definitely realized that the ingenuity and creativity of human beings is definitely amazing. I realized that for as long as we set our hearts and minds to it, nothing, even deafness -‐ can stop us from living our lives to the fullest extent.
In a way, I was blind for a long time thinking of the impediments of not being able to see, but really, there are so many things that I have seen by closing my eyes, and putting myself in the shoes of the less fortunate. Morne Scholtz South Africa
