'Courage to lead' theme of SYM Seminar in Phnom Penh

PHNOM PENH: 6th April 2006 -- Two hundred and six (206) people at three levels - children, older youth, adult leaders - gathered at the Don Bosco Centre Phnom Penh from 1-3 April to tackle a new project called CRoSS, Community Reach-out Salesian Shelter.  They gathered to be informed, formed and transformed leaders of society.
    The seminar, organised by volunteer staff from the Don Bosco Children Fund, opened with enthusiasm and optimism, and participants echoed song and cheer through the ice-breaker activities which put them in a relaxed mood.
    Animators and facilitators with WYD Cologne experience outlined the three practical elements of the theme: courage to think different, do differently, lead differently.  Mixing talks, songs, games and walk rally activities, they ensured the leaders' willing participation.  The activities climaxed with several difficult and challenging 'scout' exercises.
    The seminar stressed the importance of relationships as the primary quality of leadership.  In fact the motto was a time to know and to grow together - relationships build up leaders. The event ended with each participant lighting the candle belonging to the person next to them as the six animators led the two hundred non-Christian participatns in 'Jesus as light' song and prayer.
    (Note: A prayer that the minority Catholic population will have the courage to proclaim God's Good News is kindly requested from all austraLasia readers. LO).
