First Dorm Residents' Female Retreat at CRE
-
PCC, |
||
|
Participants Comments: "I had a great time here. The retreat was important and worth it. It is very useful and good to know that somebody cares about my life besides my mom." |
"When my name was picked, I took my baby doll. By the evening time, I was frustrated with it and wanted to return it to the counselors. I thought being a mom was very boring because the other girls enjoyed themselves and I did not; it was frustrating because I needed to carry it around and even slept with it. The lesson I learned was I am still a child trying to learn, I can't be a child having a child. Even though this retreat was only two days, I can feel the reality of being a young mother and I didn't like it." Student Life plans to have annual retreat for dorm residents. Student Life
would like to thank all the girls for participating. Special "Big Thank You" goes out
to Cafeteria Ezra Takeo & his staff, CRE Vice President Thomas Taro & his
staff, Transportation Assistants Ephraim Ngirachitei, Ismael Anastacio, &
Lucien Olikong, Cooks & helpers Heston Kebou, Husayn Beketaut, Harter
Hertin, Justin Olgeriil, & Merii Max, Photographer Teongel Ngirkelau,
and Counselor Adora Andreas, Hilda Ngiralmau, & Maurine Alexander.
Your time and commitment made this first retreat possible and fun. Again,
thank you very much!! PCC ENDOWMENT THANKSGIVING FUNDRAISER SET FOR NOVEMBER 22, 2006. TICKETS NOW ON SALE. SEE INSIDE! |

Twenty-one female residents took off with Counselor Hilda, Counselor Maurine, and Counselor Adora on early morning of October 14th, Saturday to PCC campus in Ngermeskang for two days retreat. At CRE, the students and counselors were welcomed by Vice President Thomas Taro and CRE staff. Students had different sessions and learned important skills and information which will help them make serious decisions in life. Sessions started with Director Olikong organizing the "Special Family" where four students, out of the twenty-one, became mothers during the two days retreat. Counselor Adora talked and shared on the topic of Etiquette for Women, Counselor Maurine shared and reminded the students of Study Skills and using time wisely, and Counselor Hilda's topic was on Prevention, Birth Control, and Family Planning. |
The young ladies were treated "I wish and hope that there will
be another girls' retreat. This one was very fun and interesting, I learned so much.
Thank you counselors and cooks for giving your time to come and treat
us with important lessons and delicious food." |
