We were very happy with how the training went. We continue to be amazed at how fast this set of CHE Trainers has picked up on the concepts we're teaching, which is always an encouragement. We've been making changes to our lessons and teaching style based on our experience with our first set of CHE Trainers. So we were also encouraged that Tonny, one of our first CHE Trainers and our translator for this TOT2, said he could see the difference in approach and that he thought it was helping people to better understand.
So we didn't take any time getting back into the swing of things after Christmas holidays. Right after New Years we were preparing for our next CHE training, and from January 6th to January 11th the Aruu Archdeaconry CHE Trainers came for TOT2! We were very happy with how the training went. We continue to be amazed at how fast this set of CHE Trainers has picked up on the concepts we're teaching, which is always an encouragement. We've been making changes to our lessons and teaching style based on our experience with our first set of CHE Trainers. So we were also encouraged that Tonny, one of our first CHE Trainers and our translator for this TOT2, said he could see the difference in approach and that he thought it was helping people to better understand. TOT2 is mostly about teaching methods -- how to teach adults, how to use and write lesson plans, and learning from how Jesus himself taught -- as well as how to choose the first CHE community and get the ministry started after TOT3. We were happy to see so many of the CHE Trainers from TOT1 able to return, though one of them couldn't come because he had typhoid! One of the fun things we did during the week was have a song writing competition. The participants were encouraged to write an educational song about how to prevent malaria, and we were blown away by the number of people who participated. We though maybe two or three people would write a song, but in the end thirteen people (more than half of the group!) wrote a song for the competition. We all had a blast listening to the songs and judging them. Patrick received a bar of White Star soap for the winning song, and, because the participation was so good, Alfred and John Bosco both got half a bar of blue soap because they tied for second place. Alfred was a crowd favourite, because he used a traditional Acholi style for his tune.
