SU OFFICIALS ARE ASKED TO CO-OPERATE

By Julius Likambu

Scripture Union executive members in Yei Teacher Training College are asked to co-operate among themselves for easy co-ordination of their activities. The call was made by the Patron SU Yei Teacher Training College Mr. Yaka on Friday 5^th of October 2012 when the members are for their 1^st executive meeting since they came to term.

The meeting was organised so as to discuss ways the Union can generate income for the club, how to conduct outreach to schools, the hospital, churches, and the prison, also to plan to resume bible study and do song practice.

The Patron said the College Administration include some of Scripture Union’s programmes like Bible Study to function but the students’ body could not show full interest to participate in the programme.

In addition to that, he said the Bible Study will resume on Thursday the 11^th of October 2012 and asked the students to turn in good numbers to avoid disappointing the organisers of the programme.

The SU members said, they need to glorify the name of God in the College through praises, worshiping and preach the word of God to the student teachers and other people through outreach programmes, so they said, they are to set themselves ready by making song practice at least twice a week on Wednesdays and Fridays using the musical instruments to make students turn in good number and conduct Bible Study every week.

After that the chairperson SU Rev. Martin Lumori said the club needs to organise one outreach programme to one of the secondary schools or the hospital in the next coming two weeks.

Lastly, the members discussed that they are to raise funds among themselves as membership fees and the students’ body and the College Administration in form of contribution and pledges. Then, they voted each SU official will pay a membership fee of five (5) South Sudanese pounds every term for smooth running of the Club’s activities.

 A HEAD FAMILY RESIGNED

By Emmanuel Taban

One of the family head who nicknamed himself “Mr. All “has resigned. He claimed that he resigned because of much responsibilities offered to him and also because he was provoked by one member of the family who bullied him by telling him to work like a slave. So he said he must leave the work of being a family head and at least continue with the one of Class Co-coordinator.

For the last two weeks when we had no leader to guide us during service, we were dealing on self service. The family members devised a principle of first come first serve as some load any amount of food they wanted. Taban reported.

In fact we have been ever registering a number of missing cases especially the late comers who always try their luck in the kitchen. Whereby sometimes they do not get anything from the kitchen. He said.

The members said that if he wanted to leave the work of heading the family, they may organise a meeting for him to surrender the one of Class Co-coordinator because the work of heading the family was one that made him popular to succeed in getting the one of Class Co-coordinator.

However the family members further said that, if slave trade still exists, they would sell Mr. All to any willing family.

Actually, the situation was resolved because we organised a meeting and invited our mentor to come and chair the meeting. Then Mr. All was officially downsized on Saturday morning and two new leaders were appointed by the mentor. I think we will not have missing cases now.
