Emerġenza: Turkija u Sirja

Meta seħħ it-terremot fit-Turkija u s-Sirja, il-Parroċċi Maltin, flimkien ma’ entitajiet oħra, weġibna għas-sejħa għall-għajnuna. Forsi ninsew li eluf ta’ nies għadhom hemm u qed jippruvaw jibnu ħajjithom mill-ġdid.

SOS Malta, organizzazzjoni Maltija li bniet isem għaliha f’sitwazzjonijiet umanitarji u t’emerġenza bħal dawn, kienet minn tal-ewwel li marret fuq il-post. Ir-rappreżentanti ta’ SOS Malta llum waslu biex ingħataw roqgħa art fejn bnew villaġġ ta’ tined għal 70 familja u tinda kbira f’nofs l-istess villaġġ biex tintuża bħala skola.

Wara taħdidiet bejn Vigarjat Djakonija, Malta Catholic Youth Network (MCYN) u SOS Malta, qed nipproponu li nidħlu f’kollaborazzjoni.

IL-BŻONN URĠENTI

  • Bħal f’pajjiżna, is-sajf f’dan ir-reġjun huwa kiefer, forsi iktar minn tagħna. Żgur li kif nafu, it-tined isiru fran fix-xemx. Is-soluzzjoni possibbli hi li kull tinda jkollha cooler u fuq it-tinda eżistenti tintrama fly-sheet (qisu l-materjal l-aħdar li nużaw Malta biex ikollna d-dell). Dawn jinxtraw minn post viċin u jiġu installati min-nies tal-post taħt it-tmexxija tar-rappreżentanti ta’ SOS Malta.
    Il-pakkett sħiħ li jinkludi cooler, flysheet u l-istruttura jiswa 300 ewro.

    Qed nistiednu lill-parroċċi Maltin jieħdu impenn li jiffinanzjaw cooler u struttura tad-dell għal tinda jew aktar. Aħna nipprovdu materjal li bih ninfurmaw il-komunità, nilqgħu mistoqsijiet biex in-nies ikunu infurmati aħjar u jkun hemm sit elettroniku fejn l-iżvilupp fil-villaġġ ikun jista’ jiġi segwit permezz ta’ ritratti u kitbiet.
  • Nistiednu nies ta’ ’l fuq minn 18-il sena li jixtiequ jkunu jafu aktar dwar l-opportunità ta’ ġimagħtejn volontarjat fil-villaġġ matul is-sajf biex ikellmuna.

  • Naħdmu mal-parroċċi Maltin biex membri tal-komunitajiet tagħna li jagħmlu esperjenzi barra minn Malta, fosthom din, isibu għalqa għammiela fil-parroċċi tagħna. Dan permezz ta’ opportunitajiet ta’ formazzjoni u azzjoni li niżviluppaw flimkien miegħek bħala kappillan skont il-bżonn fil-komunità tiegħek.

Lent Resources for Youth Ministry – Yahad

WHY YAHAD?

This series is based on Yahad, a document prepared by the Justice & Peace Commission (JPC) to help us reflect on how we can act constructively to build peace within our nation. You can find the full document here: https://yahad.mt/
Yahad is a term in Hebrew that is used in the Bible most often as an adverb in the sense of “together” and “with each other”. It also conveys the sense of unitedness and community.

CONTENTS

MCYN, in collaboration with JPC, has created a series of 6 different sessions to be used with young people, each one based on the Gospel readings of the first 5 Sundays of Lent, and Ash Wednesday.
The titles of each session are:

  1. Introduction   – Niżżel bil-Malti  |  Download in English 
  2. Goodness – Teaching & Discussion  – Niżżel bil-Malti  |  Download in English

  7. Creativity – Activity  – Niżżel bil-Malti  |  Download in English 

AIMS OF THE SERIES

  • To present to young people social justice themes.
  • To link Scripture and the Teaching of the Church to real-life situations happening in our country. 
  • To give time to young people to reflect on the world around them. 
  • To help young people see matters of justice in light of Scripture.
  • To encourage young people to be the positive change they long to see in the world.


SESSION OUTLINES

  • Each session plan has an outline on the first page in order to give a brief overview of the meeting.
  • A team overview can also be found before each session in order to help people lead different parts of the session smoothly. 
  • Each session is timed to be around 1 to 1.5 hours. The timings are estimates and are not there to be strictly adhered to.


Although this resource tries to be thorough, it is not thought out to be read off the paper as is, but to serve as a basis for sessions given by leaders. Each group is different, and therefore activities, discussion methods and teaching all need to be tailored according to the dynamic of the group. Should you need assistance in developing the resources further, or have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
