YOUTH LEADERSHIP SEMINAR
- Fr. Ambrose Pereira sdb
 
HONIARA: 26th Feb -- 24 youngsters completed the Youth Leadership Seminar, held at the Don Bosco House of Prayer, Kola Ridge from 11th to 14th February, 2003.  The participants from the different villages of Christ the King Parish, Tetere were also joined by two youth leaders from Holy Cross parish, Honiara and two from St. Michaels parish AvuAvu. They were also happy to welcome two from other faiths.
 
Participants had the opportunity to share and present their ideas in small groups as well as in the large groups sessions.  Value based movies at the end of the day helped highlight the need for dedication and commitment.  “The seminar was well organized with discussions, inputs and sharing and no waste of time” stated Timothy Toba from Sali.  “I realize that Youth ministry is a call and a vocation and that I need to follow in the footsteps of the Good Shepherd always” said John Vaiula,  while Margaret Tuke, was happy to share, learn and understand what the other youth leaders thing and feel.
 
The seminar also dealt with the insecurity of youngsters and the need for support and guidance from youth, community and parish animators.  Stress was also laid on the fact that as leaders they convey powerful messages by word and example.  “I have learnt more about relationships, planning and the fact that we as leaders need to be examples” stated Alfred Loe, from Tururana.   “The seven dimensions of Youth Ministry gave me new insights into leadership,” stated James Peresini, Sali.  Participants were also able to evaluate the youth group activities and plan possible programme for the coming six months. “With new ideas and insights, I am challenged to go out and share”, said Christopher D from Tetere.   The situation in The Solomons at the present time is unsteady and realizing this they have discussed a six month plan that includes formation of the youth members and reach out programmes.  
 
The seminar was organized by the Salesians of Don Bosco and opened up possible avenues of leadership.  It also enabled the participants be aware of the media and its role in their lives.  Visits to the Solomon Star and the SIBC were very much appreciated.  “Sr. Magdalene DMI worked very hard to see that we had very delicious and tasty meals”, said Anna Manekiki from Talaura as she voiced the sentiments of several of the participants.  The Youth Leadership Seminar was made possible by Oxfam Australia and the Salesians of Don Bosco.
