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
Check back with us later today to find out who gave the top 3 entries!
Happy Mother’s Day to everyone’s mom!

I’ve only been in the Philippines for a short time but its clear to me it’s an amazing place. Anyway, I just stopped by because I’m looking for blogs about filipino life and found your site on yahoo. If you have any tips on places to try when in Manila then I’d love you to share them with me. Make the most of Holy Week!

I just wanted to thank everyone who have already submitted their essays. It was very touching to read through all that you have written. You clearly have wonderful mothers, and they clearly have wonderful children.
May families, especially mothers, continue to raise more children to live in dignity!
