Wokabaut Wantaim 2011

PORT MORESBY: 7 March 2011 -- Seventy-eight young men and women took part in the Don Bosco Technological Institute (DBTI) leadership camp in Port Moresby from 04-06 March 2011. Named “Wokabaut Wantaim 2011”, the three-day camp aimed at forming a core group of leadership which would journey together ('wokabaut wantaim' in Melanesian Pidgin) to implement the school’s vision-mission and empower its tertiary level students to be agents in their own formation. 
    The participants were organized into eight bird-themed groups which competed with each other in various fun activities during the three days. The camp steering committee consisted of SDBs (Fr. John Cabrido and Br. Martin Ngoyi), FMA (Sr. Pam Vecina), lay staff and student facilitators. Speakers included both SDBs (Fr. Charles Casper and Fr. John), FMAs (Sr. Alice Fulgencio and Sr. Pam) and the institution’s staff, Mr. Noel Guillermo (principal) and Ms. Dianne Lavi (Student Affairs Coordinator). 
    In the camp’s 8 conferences and 6 workshops, the participants were introduced to the identity of the Christian Leader, especially in the mould of the Salesian Servant-Leader, and empowered with leadership skills (e.g. “effective public speaking”, “management by objectives”, etc.). A highlight of the camp was the election of the seven members of the Students’ Representative Council (SRC) led by the new president, Mr. Leslie Brown, a sophomore. The camp ended with heartfelt singing of the camp song “Youth serving Youth” and a warm hug and “sekan” (PNG-style) as the campers bid each other good-bye — but just for a while, for the journey of leadership and service has just begun. Camper Robert Aribi, a freshman, expressed well the common sentiment, “now we’re all fired up!”
