Our Journey of Learning and Self-Discovery …

The participants braced themselves for a challenging second week, especially those who grapple with the intricacies of the English language. It was a week dedicated to Grant Proposal Writing, Project Monitoring and Evaluation. Nevertheless, both the Sisters and lay mission partners approached it with unwavering determination. Their spirits were filled with anticipation and delight, driven by the prospect of acquiring a fresh skillset to enrich their
ministry.

Prior to their arrival in Singapore, they had already received preparatory assignments from the adept trainer, Ms Del Albotra. These assignments were completed even before they arrived in Singapore.

Adding to the eventful second week, participants delved into the art of conducting impactful training sessions. Over the course of two engaging days, guided by Ms Alison Lim-Ang, the experience was both educational and enjoyable. Activities ranged from Lego Serious Play to Creative writing, culminating in an assortment of exercises. While these sessions invoked our
inner child, they also imparted a variety of practical applications and skills essential for executing training sessions with a profound impact.

To whet you appetite, here’s an interesting poem on Jantana Jantorn’s  observation of Singapore:

In Singapore this time, I learn, and I grow,
Learning about me, and others we know.
I try hard, in body and mind,
The stuff I do, the actions I find.

Lots of ways to learn, like different roads,
Open up, let’s let knowledge explode.
Find new things in this huge wide space,
Lots to check out in the future’s embrace.

Trees up buildings, that’s cool, right?
Sharks in tanks, secrets taking flight.
Monkeys still talk, eyes shut so tight,
They’re making their own way,
day and night.
