The initial Refresher Workshop was conducted in Mt. Hagen Anglican Diocese of Aipo Rongo. Participants involved in the training workshop were the Jimi Adult literacy teachers from the Jiwaka Province, with a total of 22 participants including two from the Hagen parish.
It was a 5 days of intense training with the first day taken up by going through the church structure aligning with the Literacy program and Anglicare PNG Inc. A challenging five days for the majority of the participants representing their various literacy schools establishment but evident was the curiosity that embrace the participants because the majority of them present were total strangers to the theme of the workshop or training as most of the subjects covered were totally new to them, but it was their hunger.
It was the information they have been longing for, thus they were really to receive all of them in a very simple and more understanding way. The workshop ended successfully on the fifth day with an official closure by Anglicare National Director, Heni Meke and Mt.
All participants graduated with a certificate that certify them to be Adult Literacy teachers, who understand the reason of being an adult literacy teacher and have the heart to work with the needy and feel the joy of seeing someone grow, from not reading and writing to be able to read and write and appreciate life as well as participate in bringing change to the community.
Sufficiently they would have improve, enhancing and broadening their horizon and hopefully they would be in a better position to deliver a bit more effectively. As for the facilitator, it was a job well done in terms of covering all the necessary subjects needed to be covered and every teachers involved should be acknowledged.
