Dear Friends:
It is with great pleasure that I offer my congratulations to the Young Jains of America (YJA) who are holding their 9 Biennial Young Jains of America Convention. The event will take place from July 2 to July 5, 2010 at the Hyatt Regency in New Brunswick, New Jersey
Five-thousand members strong, the Young Jains of America are an intelligent and vibrant community of 14-29 year olds dedicated to the education, interaction, and awareness of Jain youth. Working with the Federation of Jain Associations in North America (JAINA), YJA raises awareness about Jain ideals and principles such as Ahimsa (nonviolence), Aparlgraha (nonpossessiveness) and Anckantvada (multiplicity of viewpoints). Through interactive community workshops, meditation sessions, and individual members who inspire and lead, YJA plays a vital role for Jain youth nationally and internationally,
As YJA works to engage young Jains to share Jain heritage and religion, they also address the problems, difficulties, and concems facing Jain youth. YJA assists in and promotes charitable community activities to prepare Jain youth to become successful Jain leaders of tomorrow.
I am a staunch supporter of any organization that works to improve the lives of young adults and YJA certainly has cause to be celebrated as an organization that promotes inherently good-natured values and ideals. The Jain community remains an integral part of my district and the country
Again, I offer my best wishes to the Young Jains of America. I appreciate the hard work and dedication your organization has to bringing cultural tolerance and education to the members of my constituency.
Sincerely,
Frouk Pallone h.
