In the past weekend we packed our bags and went camping! We gathered the project leadership, and the idea was that we would spend time together to build up each other and the project. We squeezed 10 young leaders in the minibus and headed for the capital Tegucigalpa to participate in a seminary with the theme “how do we educate those that don’t want to be educated.” When you have an orphanage counting over five hundred children from seriously challenging backgrounds, sadly follows a number of individuals that lack willingness to invest in or even participate in the educational system, but those individuals we also want to embrace and help getting on the right track. Though the four-hour-long seminary was carried out only in Spanish, and on top of that with an Argentinian accent, it was very informative even for those of us who are not born speaking Spanish, and the seminary gave us insights in the development of the child and which necessities it has in the different phases.
After the seminary in the capital, we headed for the national park Panacan where we would spend two nights at a campsite to work with each other and the project. We spend time facilitating workshops for each other, and the youth leaders, among others, were given the opportunity to share what they learned during the seminaries they took part of in Denmark. Additionally we spent the weekend planning future activities, seeking God together and enjoying the park and each other’s company away from the sometimes, busy life at the orphanage. In spite of sickness here and there, we surpassed the weekend, and believe that the time and resources we invest in training sections like this one, will help us taking the project to new heights in the future. The more time we leaders get to dream together and to build relationships, the more we believe we have to offer the youth we seek to support, and we have now returned to Emmanuel capacity build and with renewed strength.
