 On behalf of the International Schools’ Association and Cempaka Schools, we regret to inform you that the 7th International Youth Leadership Seminar: Eradicating Poverty (June 29 - July 4, 2009) has been postponed indefinitely due to the increasing number of cases in Malaysia of the H1N1 Virus.
In order to circumvent the spread of the virus, the government of Malaysia is considering shutting down all schools in the near future. In light of the health risks in allowing students to travel from abroad as well as any potential interruption to the seminar’s scheduled activities, the ISA and Cempaka Schools have decided that to postpone the seminar would be the most appropriate course of action.  It is disappointing to be unable to welcome students to Malaysia and that the seminar will not take place as planned, however, due to the nature of these unforeseen circumstances, we find that it would be imprudent to proceed with the YLS.
We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and we hope that when the YLS is rescheduled, students will not hesitate to register their interest once again. Thank you for your kind understanding. The ISA Secretariat |
