Seminar
on "Sex:Dignity and Value of Life" |
The Catholic Commission
for Health Pastoral Care organized a seminar on "Sex: Dignity
and Value of Life" through the coordination of Sr. Suwanni Jairuam
at the Rural Vocational Training Center, Nong Khai, on 13-15 September
2006 with 49 participants who work on health. H.E. Bishop George Yod
Phimphisarn chaired the seminar. |
The
objectives of this seminar are: |
1) |
To let the participants
realize the value and dignity of one's own life and that of others
who are all born as children of God as man and woman which is the
image of God. |
2) |
To let the participants feel proud in
themselves, love and respect others. |
3) |
To let the participants feel happy,
love and dedicate themselves to what they are working on. |
4) |
To let the participants share their
experiences and give their inspiration to one another. |
During the seminar the participants
are involved with the following activities:
1) Exposure to the outreach project (friendship to the neighbors)
located within the venue of the vocational training center.
2) Therapy activities through music
3) Experience sharing with each organization ,during which they
discuss on rights of the HIV/AIDS people as well. It is found that
after a person is known as contracted with HIV, neighbors including
members of one's own family are still showing discrimination against
them and they are cut out from the society. This makes many people
contracted with HIV afraid to expose themselves making them deprived
of all medical cares.
|
The
benefits of this seminar, other than allowing the participants to
gain new experiences in working, it is also an opportunity for them
to make suggestions on how to solve the problems. |
