It would be fair to say that, following on from the successful information session held in January the SPYS preparation sessions for prospective volunteers are now well underway! During these sessions the prospective volunteers have, to date, started to get to know each other while at the same time learning about the Salesians and Don Bosco’s preventive system of education, trust, teamwork and team building. Needless to say, all this was done in typical SPYS fashion that has included ice-breakers, videos, activities and simulations, together with discussions and moments of reflection.
These sessions and their dynamism would not be possible without the hard work and efforts of the SPYS.int team, a group of former volunteers who now prepare others for the journey they themselves hope to undergo in developing countries. Having said that, the commitment and enthusiasm shown by these prospective volunteers makes all that effort worth it, and nothing would please the SPYS.int team more than to have this very challenge of preparing a large group of enthusiastic youths for their own journeys!
