Tombura-Yambio, 03 November, 2020 / 6:09 pm (ACI Africa).
Over sixty youth in South Sudan’s Diocese of Tombura-Yambio have embarked on a five-day training that will see them get equipped with skills to solve social problems affecting young people in the East-Central African country.
Fr. Christy John, the Facilitator of the workshop from Solidarity with South Sudan (SSS), told the participants on Tuesday, November 3 that the event, which was organized by the Diocese’s youth office is also aimed at “building confidence in youth who will in turn respond to an invitation of transforming lives from social concerns among them.”
Addressing 63 Catholic youth in Tombura-Yambio Diocese, SSS official said, “We are either victims of perpetrators or sympathizers to the social issues affecting negatively the faith of the Christians.”
“We are inviting everyone, particularly the young people to contribute in rebuilding the faith of the faithful and also protect that faith,” said Fr. Christy.
The training, which has targeted youth working in the six deaneries of the Catholic Diocese of Tombura-Yambio, covered social issues on the side of the family, community and the whole Republic of South Sudan, Fr. Christy said.
