St. Theresa Parish mission of reconciliation organized one day workshop to 25 catechists from four parishes of Rumbek Catholic Diocese.
The training aims at empowering the faithful of the word of God to guide and protect children in their different locations.
Fr. Augustine Ekeno is the Parish Priest of St: Theresa mission of reconciliation. He says child protection is paramount because they are the future leaders.
He warns parents or guardians against brutal beating of their children like animals.
Samuel Manyang, one of the Catechists who benefited from the training says children are the future of South Sudan and they need protection from any harm.
The speakers made the remarks in an exclusive interview with Good News Radio at St. Theresa Parish Rumbek.
