Last weekend was not so congested for us on the SELL Resource Team because only one Team was out to give a workshop on the Personal Growth at Kafin Tafawa a suburb of Bauchi town. The workshop which was delivered by 2 members of the SELL Team, Mary and Moses was outstanding because they had it for 3 days (Friday – Sunday) ordinarily it was suppose to be a 2day affair, the facilitators were motivated by the curiosity of the participants and decided to take the participants carefully through the session of the Personal Growth unit. 33 young adults attended the workshop and from their workshop evaluation most of them said that they hope to see the Team again very soon for another unit of the SELL programme and some said they have never attended a life giving workshop as this before.
Last week, Moses informed you of the first up – coming SELL Resource Team life check-in for 2011. I am glad to inform you that it held on Wednesday 26th of January. It was indeed a wonderful experience and Leo directed it. The style he used to facilitate the team life check-in was spectacular. We all found it very helpful and the process that was used will help us understand each other more even though we have worked together for long.
Mary the newest member of the team and Fr. Tommy Hayden a priest of Saint Patrick’s Missionary Society and also a SELL Team member by extension attended the Team life check-in. They said they feel it will help build the team relationship wise.
Also in this week, the 1st set of the SELL facilitators in training that started the SELL training in April 2009 will come together at our centre for a Renewal Training. The training will start on Thursday the 27th of January and end on Sunday 30th January 2011. We pray that God will grant all the participants journey mercy as they travel to come for the renewal.
On behalf of the team I sincerely wish to apologize for our inability to post last week’s workshop photos on the blog this was due to some technical faults beyond us however we are working to have them posted to the blog soonest.
