i have been travelling a lot this past months.
i have been passing my article to be posted at MOLMAN.blogspot.com rather than here.
But soon...i will want to start a new series here just on this blog. it would be a book i hoped to publish when i was younger. it would be about my reflection on my last 20years on youthwork. i have entitled the book "Stepping Stones". And instead of publishing it on paper, i think blog would be the more suitable media for this new generation of youth and youth worker.
It is my intention to bless the youthworker of old and new about the challenges and blessings of youthwork.
Should you know someone who is a youthworker, you can invite him on my behalf to come and share this journey with me.
