Dear fellow students of the Malaysian Catholic Student Council (MCSC),

Greetings of peace and justice from Manila!

The International Movement of Catholic Students Asia Pacific (IMCS AP) congratulates all of you for organizing the Intercampus Gathering 2007 with the theme “Our Faith, Our Freedom”. Such a theme is most timely and of most importance especially in creating awareness among the Catholic students of Malaysia and empowering them with tools to respond to the current social realities. We must never forget that as university students who are blessed with the opportunity of education, and hence we are always expected to do more.  The Catholic students of Malaysia have been most active in bridging their faith with their social realities and this ICG will inspire more students in Malaysia and around the globe to live a “spirituality of faith in action”.

IMCS would like to extend its full support to the MCSC and we hope that more students will play active roles especially in taking ownership of IMCS AP. Having a current team member from Malaysia, Adrian Pereira, we are confident that IMCS and MCSC will have a closer working relationship in the future. Last but not least, we hope that after this ICG, students will take initiatives to play roles in ensuring all citizens enjoy their fundamental freedoms.

In Solidarity,

Adrian Anthony Pereira and Bipul Alite Gonsalves
