On the 6th - 9th March, 2014, the Community Trainees from Shendam, had their second round of training. The SELL Foundation has six Community Teams in training in Nigeria, there are other satellite teams too in training within the country and also in Kumasi, Ghana. The Resource team normally travels to these communities to deliver the trainings, all preparation was in progress for the journey to be made to Shendam along the line, due to some logistics reason, the trainees from Shendam had travel down to the SELL Resource office in Bauchi, Nigeria to take the training. The unit of the SELL Programme that was shared during training was the Self Awareness unit. This unit of SELL assists participants to journey into their individual lives, a saying goes thus; an unexamined life is not worth living. This unit of SELL also assists people to share with one another, especially trusted people in their lives. 24 persons came for the training and it was indeed a very wonderful moment for the facilitators (Berly, Beji and Maria) to be with the trainees under the umbrella of SELL
One of the Authors of the SELL Programme, Rev. Fr. Leo Traynor who is now a Resource Person to the Foundation bid farewell to the entire SELL Family in Nigeria. Leo has served in Nigeria as a Priest for 26 years and has now gone on his sabbatical leave. 12 out of the 26 years, he committed to developing and supporting young people with the SELL Programme which he co-developed with Frs. Tommy Hayden and Noel McGeeney. Leo positively has affected people that have encountered him. Young people that have taken the SELL Programme have given testimonies of the good the it has and is still doing in their lives. The entire SELL family wishes Leo a peaceful and fulfilled Sabbatical period, also God’s blessings and guidance in all he hopes to do afterwards. We will miss you greatly.
