Purpose of happiness by MONICA from Madrid –Spain with St. Bakhitha girls’ school – life skills:
“It was good to make them understand the great opportunity that they have to learn and showing them that happiness is not just about feeling comfortable and having fun, but goes beyond that and involves integrating the educational effort to achieve their dreams and goals. Happiness is not only a feeling that you can love in good moments of your life, it is more than that, it is something that you know you have, even if you don’t feel anything. I always ask God to show me His will. Sometimes it is hard and when you want to achieve something important you have to make a big effort, and sometimes you don’t have the strength to continue, but we have to be patient, persistent and work hard.”
Monica Barrera – our visitor in the month of July
Dance Classes… uniting the youth with music and dance:
Dance classes are essential to the youth in the villages. They form part of games and exercise. The Comboni lay missionaries organize these classes for primary and secondary, led by the enthusiastic dance trainer Abeddie, to refresh them from a busy week of study.
