This is to inform all of you that the NSE meeting held on 15th October, resulted in the appointment of next years camp chair. Esther Surenthiraraj from the University of Colombo Christian Fellowship accepted this responsibility.
I ask from all of you that you continue to uplift the NSE and especially Esther as she goes about in organizing the national conference. We are targeting to have this sometime in April/May of the year 2007.
Thank you,
God Bless you all,

Dear FOCUS Students and Staff,
The GCF Camp 2006 will be held from September 7-10’th, at the Windmill Beach Hotel, Negombo. The GCF Committee and the Camp Organizers invite young graduates and graduands from among you to this Camp with great pleasure. The theme of the Camp is ” God the Holy Spirit “.
The cost of the Camp will be 850 rupees per person per day (full board), which is equal to 3,400 rupees per person for the four day camp. If you bring your own linen, the cost will be 800 rupees per person per day (full board), which is equal to 3,200 rupees per person for the four day camp.
If it is difficult to meet this cost, please contribute whatever you can and come, as we do not want the cost of camp to deter anyone from enjoying the fellowship of the GCF family.
You can check in during the afternoon or evening of September 6’th, and the camp will complete with lunch on September 10’th. As always, arrangements will be made to look after children.
Please reply to this email, or email: gcfsl@yahoogroups.com, rajkumar@vinet.lk, jesudason@eol.lk and let us know whether you will be attending, and how many members from your family will come (how many rooms you require).
Look forward to seeing you at the Camp.
With kind regards,
Harsha

We wanted to start a website for FOCUS and use it for information, news, e-correspondence, prayer and even sharing of material like books, conversation forums, etc… This will bring together the students and graduates who go online frequently. Also this will be updated frequently so that even our graduates and friends abroad will be informed and included in our ministry activities. After the South Asia Regional Assembly in Nepal this year, we got the responsibility of hosting the South Asia Regional website, linking all the regional fellowships together. We have already started the development of FOCUS website and a team led by Mahangu which is coordinated by me is working on it.
