Tombura-Yambio Catholic Bishop awarded different categories of individuals for the great work they have been doing to serve the community in some parts of South Sudan.
According to Anisa Radio, Bishop Award of Excellence was given to 250 people with medals and certificates including high ranking officials at the national level, state, county and community levels in different parts of South Sudan.
Other awardees from different religious backgrounds and family levels including international and local NGOs like, UNMISS, UNICEF and World Vision.
Bishop Eduardo Hiiboro Kussala says the initiative is to promote the culture of valuing people when they do things well for the service of the society.
He says people do not want to talk about the good things others have achieved in the society until the person dies.
Bishop Hiiboro calls on the citizens of South Sudan to change from the culture of appreciating people only when they died and start applauding them during their lives time.
He reveals that we don’t celebrate success but today we are turning history around and say no we have to celebrate the success we have to praise people, we have to appreciate people and tell them what they do well at their faces when they are still alive.
The bishop made the remarks during the Bishops Awards of Excellence.
