Updates on the 12th APNG Asia Pacific Next Generation Camp, Hiroshima, Japan
My second opportunity to participate in the APNG Camp was held this year in Hiroshima, Japan. I remember at the APNG Camp in Kuala Lumpur last year, I was very impressed by the international atmosphere. Moreover，the passion to drive and lead Internet development amongst the youth from the Asia Pacific Region was beyond what I had imagined the Internet world to be. As a Netmission Ambassador, these experiences and interactions with people at the camp has motivated me to step ahead for IT development in the world.
This year, I was invited to be part of the executive committee in APNG to work as a secretariat for the 12th APNG Camp in Hiroshima. As secretariat of one of the major networking groups in the Asia Pacific region, I have been able to gain direct involvement with organizations, companies and people in IT sectors from Asia Pacific region. These valuable opportunities enable me to share my ideas, so that we can work together to create a lasting impact to the internet world.
After numerous meetings with my committee, I was very proud that we could realize the dreams of 80 people coming from over 20 countries. Our hard work provided a platform for these like-minded people to brainstorm and discuss innovative ideas in IT development in the Asia Pacific region. Through open discussions and presentations, representatives from each country could learn and exchange skills, techniques and strategies from each other. In particular, I was very impressed by one of the fellows from Mynmmar, who reflected that the APNG camp has given them insight and passion to work on digital inclusion project in their country. So far, they have helped over 100 people to connect to the digital world. I remember feeling extremely shocked that such a short conference could create such a sustainable impact.
Imagine how many people would benefit if each one of us from the APNG Camp had gone back to our own countries to achieve the same level of impact? And how much so by organizing another APNG Camp? Though the mission seems almost too great big for just an ambassador like myself, I keep reminding myself that I am one of many NetMission Ambassadors who are working towards the same goal. To me, the “NetMission” extends beyond the program to all people who share the vision of creating a better Internet future and development. I’ve learnt that a life can change a life, and that's why we must take it a step at a time to bring change to the world.
這是我第二次參與APNG的會議。 還記得上年我作為网域使命－青年使者的代表，參與於吉隆坡舉行的APNG 會議， 當時我不但被會議中的國際氛圍所感染，亦被來自亞洲太平洋地區的各個青年對互聯網發展的激情所感動， 這些經驗都堅壯了身為一個青年使者的使命：為互聯網的發展作出貢獻。
去年會議後，我特別高興能夠被選為APNG 執行委員會秘書，與其他來自世界各地的前輩們一同籌備第12 屆於日本廣島進行的APNG 會議。這使我有寶貴的機會與亞洲地區其他的資訊科技界組織及企業合作，整個過程都十分愉快，除了可以分享我的意見外，亦能夠對所愛的互聯網世界作出一點的貢獻。
今天我回顧由籌備到實行的整個經歷，不禁為整個團隊感到自豪。我們成功為80個來自 20多個亞太地區國家的青年實現夢想－APNG會議旨在提供一個平台，為這些滿懷熱誠的青年人提供一個就互聯網發展分享心德、交流意見的地方。通過連串的討論和分享，每個國家能夠互相學習， 每個青年亦能盡情交流， 取長補短 。讓我最印象深刻的, 是一位從緬甸來的青年朋友，他說APNG會議給予了他們對網絡發展工作的熱情，到目前為止，他們已成功協助超過 100人連接到數碼世界。在那一刻，我感到非常驚喜，也著實的感受和發現到APNG的意義，原來我可以為這個世界帶來點點的改變。
如果每位APNG 的青年都能夠懷著與這位緬甸青年的熱誠，您能想像到這個世界裏有多少人會因而受惠呢？我相信每位懷著网域使命的青年使者，都在世界不同的角落，與我與你都一樣，為著互聯網發展而努力－ 生命的確可以影響生命 。我也相信，我們的努力可以使更多的人因為互聯網，而得到更美好的生活與未來。
