More about programs
How she became a HY Worker:
In the year 2010 Petra had attended the Ethical Workshop course and since then she has begun to offering Healthy Youth ministry programs at schools.
Her name is well-known among the schools in the region and her programs are always well-accepted.
Petra says:
“I was a co-founder of the Mothers’ Center in nearby village. We also founded a club named the Prospectors where we could teach Christian education.
We were able to build quite good relationship with the local school there and they decided to utilize the Ethical Workshop project. The series of programs we had for the younger and the older kids got a very positive response and the deputy director asked us to follow this year in a bigger scale.”

Feedback
“The whole program had a playful and attractive form. The kids did not even notice the break signals and they continued in finishing their work instead. In a live atmosphere they opened up their imagination and started to realize their roles in life and in the world. Their feedback was very positive.”
