Saturday, February 22, 2025

The major task of this final working day for our session consisted in knitting together all the ideas and final drafts that had been worked on by different working groups. This task involved a comprehensive tailoring and editing of the elaboration of the policy of the province. In this task, we were inspired by the safeguarding policy of the society and by the experts in child protection laws from Burundi, DRC and Rwanda.  We have met the main objective of our session : the final draft document. This document will be presented to the Provincial of PAC for his amendements and approval.

We also deliberated concreted steps to be followed for effective implementation of this policy in the province once promugalted.

In the closing eucharistic celebration, the assistant provincial for PAC, Fr. Bernard Gachuru, thanked everyone on behalf of the provincial, for the fraternal and hardworking spirit that characterised the working session. In his homily, he invited us to entrust this work to God and seek guidance as we take this ministry to another level in the province.  

Safeguarding is our commitment
