South Sudan: Blessing of Catholic Health Training Institute Wau
The school in Wau has begun its activities. We received a first report on the opening day
The first twenty students for the renovated Catholic Health Institute in Wau were present when Bishop Rudolph Deng cut the ribbon symbolically to open the building and blessed the facilities on Thursday, 4th February, 2010. Phase one of the renovation is nearing completion. The students have expressed great delight at the quality of the facilities. There are two further rebuilding phases which will be done this year to complete the Institute which will offer various training programmes in the Health sector. The initial students are all enrolled in a four-year programme at the Institute, the first in Southern Sudan, to train as registered nurses following GoSS guidelines and in accord with international standards. The new students led the singing as all present then joined in a joyful celebration of the mass. In his homily, the Bishop stressed the importance of the service those who train here should give back to their local communities. After the blessing and mass, Sr Sneha, Principal of the Institute’s academic programme, introduced the various speakers. Director of the Catholic Health Training Institute, Dr Maria welcomed the guests and stressed the significance of the Institute motto: Knowledge, Integrity and Loving Care. The Institute has a clear mission statement and is setting very high expectations for its graduates. His Excellency, the Minister for Health in Bahr El Ghazal State, was present and made clear his strong support for, and satisfaction in attending, the opening of the Health Training Institute. Dr James Ukelo, the Director General of the Wau Teaching Hospital also addressed the students and recalled the success of previous graduates trained in the Institute on this site, in the 1980’s. He stressed the great need for nurses and encouraged the students to grasp the opportunity now open to them. After the planting, by the Bishop and His Excellency, of a mango tree, which Sr Sneha described as ‘a strong symbol of life and shelter and reminder of our how we plan to grow as a Health Training Institute’, the first meal in the renovated Institute dining room was enjoyed by all. There is still a lot to be done but many expressed amazement on what had already been accomplished, the significance this new beginning and the importance of this key step forward in the building of the new Sudan.
