The Missionary Community of Saint Paul the Apostle (MCSPA) in Malawi, with German NGO Kindermissionswerk, recently held a two-week training course in project management for members of religious and non-religious organizations.

The training took place at the tranquil Nkhotakota Safari Lodge, situated along Lake Malawi.

Fr Manuel Hernandez of the MCSPA facilitated the course. Among those who attended were members of the Missionary Community of St Paul the Apostle, the Society of Montfort Missionaries, priests from the dioceses of Lilongwe and Karonga, Sisters of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Sisters of the Holy Family of Bordeaux, Carmelite Sisters and a representative of Tikondane Organization. These people run various projects in Kenya, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Zimbabwe and Malawi irrespectively. The training was divided into two phases of one week each.

Speaking after the training, Fr Bernard Maganga said: "This training has helped me know what matters most in writing a project, implementing and giving a reporting. The sessions have been very informative and inspiring. I am very grateful to Kindermissionswerk and the MCSPA in Malawi for considering Montfort Missionaries in this training. What I have learned about project management shall be of immense benefit to the whole Montfortian family and the people of God at large. Zikomo Kwambiri!!"

Fr Angel Valdivia said that the training will help in preparing sound projects, matching with the requirements of various donors.

The training ended with a beautiful ceremony in which every participant was awarded with a certificate of participation.
