Picked from pool of six hundred international applicants, Jenny Jean Love and the band Ezekiel are seeking sponsorship for their trip to world youth day.
World Youth Day is the largest youth event in the world and will be held in Sydney from 15-20 July 2008. A projected fifteen million people will be in attendance this year.
Organized by the Catholic Church, World Youth Day gathers young people from around the world to build bridges of friendship and hope between continents, peoples and cultures. In August 2005, Sydney was chosen to host the XXIII World Youth Day. The announcement was made by Pope Benedict XVI in Cologne at the conclusion of the XX World Youth Day in August 2005.
