More than fifty school dropout girls in Yambio have concluded a five-day seminar on behaviour change and innovative. The five-day seminar was organized by the pastoral affairs and mission centre of the Catholic Diocese of Tombura Yambio in partnership with Solidarity sisters, which also focused on Self-esteem, build trust, forgiveness, conflict management, behaviour, leadership skills and prayers.
The cause for the dropout of the school girls is majorly attributed to early pregnancy that forced them to drop out of school in order to care for themselves and their babies.
Addressing the girls during the closing of the seminar, His lordship Barani Edwardo Hiiboro Kussala, encouraged the girls to apply the knowledge they acquired in the training to harmonize good relationship with their fellows.
The Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Tombura-Yambio, gave massage of hope to the girls and argued them to be God’s loving people. He emphasised on the importance of forgiveness and how to manage dispute in the community.
“Let us have the love of others by knowing challenges affecting them in life, because God had created us human beings to care for our fellow human kinds who have problems in their lives. Let us not be greedy but should be kind to one another”, Hiiboro asserted.
Bishop Hiiboro encouraged the girls to be brave enough to learn from their past mistakes and forget the past to move on with life.
Meanwhile the State minister of gender and social welfare, Hon. Cicilia Anigunde, argued the dropout girls to go back to school to continue pursuing their dreams.
Some of the representative of the dropout girls have requested for support to return back to school, saying at the age of adolescent they were not able to control themselves against men’s influence deceiving them to accept something that has destroyed their future plans.
Similar seminars have been conducted in all the six deaneries under the Catholic Diocese of Tambura Yambio.
