Why We Think Moms Rock

May 10, 2009

World Youth Alliance Asia Pacific (WYAAP) loves moms! Because we believe that the family is the fundamental unit of society, and the person’s first school of life and love. It is in the family that we first experience our human dignity. And we know that our moms play a big role and making our families what it is today.

Within the family children first come to understand their own intrinsic and inviolable human dignity. Through their complementary roles, mother and father, equal in dignity, show their children that the freedom of the human person is most fully and rightly lived in the gift of self. [Declaration on the Family]

So today, on Mother’s Day, we’d like to give a tribute to mothers. Here is a gallery of photos and essays submitted by various young people who answered our call to shout out to the world that they think their moms rock (and why)!

There are two ways to view our collection. First, you can scroll down and view them as individual blog entries. Or secondly, you can view them in album format. To view the album, click here.

We hope you enjoy reading through the entries. And if ever you feel inspired to send in your own, please do! It’s never too late You may no longer be eligible to win prizes, but you can still join the rest of these young people in telling the world about how cool your mom is! Just email a photo of your mom (or the both of you together!) with a 25–word (max) paragraph about why she rocks to wyaap.contests@gmail.com
