This year, the Animation of the Congregation encouraged to live the Fraternity: Fraternity between Brothers, Fraternity in Mennaisian Family, Fraternity with Children and Young People from Schools… Here is a Testimony from St Mary’s School in Duluti-Arusha, compiled by Brother Erick Olang.
« At our Secondary School in Arusha, Tanzania, Fraternity between Lay People and Brothers is lived daily through Education, Prayer, and Community Activities. As a Lay teacher working with the Brothers of Christian Instruction, I experience a Spirit of Unity and Shared Mission in forming Young People Academically, Spiritually, and Socially.»
