Ten Principles of Leadership at Missionaries of Africa

Time for small groups

Edmond..and Kenneth.

Hello everyone. Here we come again. Greetings from Cornerstone Veritas as a whole. We are excited to inform you that C.V is really doing great. C.V once again had the opportunity to run the Ten Principles of Leadership short course for the third time at Missionaries of Africa, a Catholic order in Uganda and the rest of Africa.

Nicholas...one of the students.

They are located in Nsambya, a suburb with in Kampala. It is a vocation Centre for priest hood aspirants undergoing discernment (a process of discovering their vocation or call to priesthood).  Eight students attended together with their teacher. The participants were excited to attend this course.                           Most of them initially thought it is a political- oriented course, but learned that it is a character based course. It covers aspects of human as well as community development. The areas in human life tackled are mainly spiritually, physically and economically.

The participants appreciated C.V being able to teach them. Something interesting is that the participants come from different parts of the country. Throughout the course they learned how  important it is to avoid segregation and all kinds of regional, tribal and cultural differences. 

The participants also identified specific principles that they struggle with in their life, and at the end of the course wrote action steps to improve on the specific principles. Christ centered life, Personal integrity and success requires hard work were among the principles that most of the participants.

We had time to play games, fellowship and socialize with the students and priests there. One evening Frank became the top scorer, he scored in their own net. On the fun night, we also played various games. It was one of the funniest moments. We laughed our lungs out; we shed tears of joy out of joy. Thanks to Frank for being so funny.

Friday was the last as well as the graduation day. Noelle led this session and gave every participant a candle, gift, and words of encouragement, including Fr. Henry, who was the host of the event.  He concluding with final remarks that include: appreciation to C.V and congratulated his students for finishing and graduating at the end of it all.
