REFLECTIONS FROM AN IGNATIAN STUDENT LEADER (ON THE ISLF FORUM)

This reflection is from SEAN ETHAN CHENG, a student leader from Xavier School. Philippines, who participated in the recent Ignatian Student Leadership Forum (August 15-21, 2016), hosted by the Jesuits of the Indonesian Province and held in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Our delegation left Manila on a very stormy Sunday. After two flights and more than eight hours of travel, we were welcomed warmly by our hosts at the airport. The other delegations encountered floods on the way to Jogjakarta, but everything fell in place at the end of the day.
