________________ 67 • YOUTH SUPPLEMENT Welcome to the Convention JAINA TIMES by Anish Shah, Coraopolis, Pennsylvania Convention Edition Co-Editors: Sanjay Vora Anish Shah The JAINA Times is a collection of the JAINA Youth Group of Pittsburgh ai Jinendra and welcome to the Convention! The long-antici pated weekend for Jains all over the world is finally here. Many hours of intense work have gone into the preparation of this year's Convention. However, for me, I truly believe that it was a worthwhile experience. The Convention has been a unique undertaking for the Jain Community of Pittsburgh. Never before has the Jain Youth worked in such a united fashion in the City of Pittsburgh. Much credit for the organization of the youth must be given to our Youth Coordinator, Sanjay Vora. He helped to initiate the JAINA Youth Group of Pittsburgh, which was formed for the task of organizing the Convention. Hopefully, the Youth Group will continue to grow following the Convention. During the last two years, the JAINA Youth Group of Pittsburgh has participated in several activities. The "JAINA Times" youth magazine has served as a forum for youth expression and a medium for relaying Convention details. Hopefully, the youth at the site of the next Convention will continue the "JAINA Times" for the same purpose. In addition, the Youth Group has organized several workshops at the Convention. In coordination with youth all over the world, several workshops pertaining to various youth concerns have been created. Also, the Vegetarianism Exhibition has been created by the Pittsburgh youth. During the course of Convention preparations, the Pittsburgh youth have taken vegetarianism as a specific project. I believe that we have been successful as I myself have witnessed many of the youth turn to Vegetarianism. I am sure that many of your parents want you to take a serious approach to the Convention. However, the Convention will also be an entertaining social activity. In order for us to get the most out of it, our time and effort should be balanced between education and entertainment. If the enthusiasm of the Pittsburgh youth is a sign of the general trend, I am confident that this Convention will be a tremendous success. F472727.
