Career Training

In my architecture training in Vietnam, I had courses on sustainable architecture and sociologybut it was only theory. With my participation in the IFFAsia Human/Social module, I begin tohave a deeper social understanding. It helped me very much rom the view o architecture. Tobe able to design highly ecient buildings especially public buildings such as churches, schools,hospitals knowing more about psychology and human behaviour is the best way to envisionthe use o the buildings.

I can see the proound presence o my Creator and also appreciate the relationship betweenGod and man, and between humans. This ormation experience helps me to become moremature and responsible, a value that will benet me in my lie and work.Thien Vinh, Vietnam - Class o 2013Architect

As a young graduate, I volunteered and joined a local grass root NGO doing relie projects or thevictims o the 2008 earthquake in southwest China in Sichuan province.I elt good in the beginning, but ater three years o service I did not eel that good.... When I wentor the ormation in IFFAsia, I learned Each human person is unique and original, and nobody has

lived what we have lived.

In July 2012, when I returned to my oce, though they were the same aces, same circumstance,

Can anything good come out rom Payatas? (John 1:45-46).

I was a person who didnt like to talk, not because I had nothing to say but I was not daringto express mysel especially to those whom I thought had authority over me. The IFFAsiaormation helped me to be condent and say to mysel I can do something and be someone,even though I come rom Payatas, a slum area with the largest dumpsite in the Philippines.

Being poor instinctively led me to dream o studying in the service industry or IT. The ormationchanged me. I realized that my desire is more than just being in a hotel serving people or xingcomputers to earn a living. The studies opened my mind to so many realities in lie whichmade me see the importance o building ones inner sel & potential and infuencing a chain opositive changes and creating possibilities with others.Rodrigo B. Babiera, Philippines Class o 2009

Formator-in-training, IFFAsia (currently pursuing degree in Psychology)

I aced it with a dierent attitude this time. I respected my colleagues and appreciated their uniqueness. I am happy with whatIm doing now. I thank God or giving me this opportunity o going to IFFAsia and thank the people who

journeyed with me.Anna Li Jue, China - Class o 2011

Words from the Chairman, IFFAsia

I am an accountant by proession. Ater my ormation in IFFAsia, I gave mysel ully

to serve the youth in my diocese. It is a vast diocese. The team and I have to cover 4parishes which include 102 chapels and outstations. The distance can be as ar as 4 to

6 hours drive and some have to use boats. We walk on rough roads to reach out to theyoung in the ar fung places and start a aith journey with them.

It has not been an easy task. I know I am just a nobody who really wants to be asomebody or that someone. When they hugged me, they hugged me tight and when

they call me Kakak Anna, they call me with so much love. They are the ones who keptme going, through that I experience Christ loving and encouraging me. I hope these

youth know and eel Christs love like I did when I was in my ormation. I really believein the IFFAsia ormation.

Anna Teresa Peter Amandus, Malaysia Class o 2010Director, Diocesan Youth Ofce o Sandakan

The ormation in IFFAsia is an experience lived in a context o

community and missionary spirituality. I personally endorse this

program. We dont have yet anything as holistic as this. With the new

partnership with Xavier University, one can even earn a Master Degree.

This is not only or the Philippines but or the whole world.Bishop Joel Baylon, Diocese of Legaspi, PhilippinesChairman FABC Youth Desk, Chairman IFFAsia

At IFFAsia, the ormation team, proessors and resource

persons come rom a wide background, with regional

and international experiences; rom community workers

close to the ground to those who hold masters and

doctorates in theology, sociology, business, philosophy,

psychology, and education.
