This youth training activity included educational lectures on topics such as “Who are adolescents?”, “Problems in adolescence”, “Adolescents and friends”, “Adolescents and learning”, “Adolescents and love”, and “Adolescents and the future”. There were also discussions, practical exercises to develop concentration, mindfulness, and wisdom, personality development, mind-mapping for life planning, and recreational activities to build relationships among adolescents.
The goal of adolescent training – for the adolescents in our orphanage to become self-aware, able to understand their lives, their life stories, and especially the goal of a good future. What factors can develop and elevate their thinking and motivation? What will give them the strength to get up and move forward steadily and happily, and to manage various problems, both internal and external, such as those from society, friends, and their surrounding environment, in a balanced way? Because no one is born perfect. The only people who can be perfect, to a greater or lesser extent, are those who can accept and adapt themselves to have a good mindset. This is what we desperately want for the teenagers at our Sarnelli House Orphanage, so they can develop into people who can think, think critically, and think well, leading them to take action starting today for their good future.
