[Vorstand] Fwd: Re: Ben

[Guido Schürenberg]

Lieber Vorstand,

zu Eurer Kenntnis meine Antwort auf die Mitteilung von Chrisencia, dass 
sie Ben im Gästehaus der Diözese untergebracht haben.

Ich bin auf die Reaktionen gespannt und wie sich die Kommunikation jetzt 
entwickelt. Das wird Konsequenzen für den Einsatz von Naomie haben und 
für die Begleitung auf beiden Seiten.

herzliche Grüße

Guido

Dear Sister and ewe Team Zambia,

thank you for the update.

It is a hard analysis, when you say Ben is not making an exchange. That 
reflects of standards and values we as ewe share about the intercultural 
exchange of youth from both ends. Maybe our communication and sharing 
about the standards and values has not been enough and they are more in 
our minds and in our hearts and in our practice as ewe. The exchange is 
living tradition aand spirit of ewe, but not fixed in aims and 
guidelines. This is an outstanding and necessary issue to involve 
newcomer and to integrate them. Never the less every year the exchange 
continues with a new generation of volunteers and we as responsables are 
challenged to communicate this "philosophie" or selfconception of ewe to 
the youth we have to deal with and of cause with the hosting families.

Within the current exchange situations, we need earlier, more and better 
communication between the responsibles from both ends. We on our end 
need to be informed about the situation if a crisis develops, because we 
are asked by the parents and have to explain the (cultural) background.

I hope Ben will manage his situation in guest house and hospital and 
find friends in the new surrounding, so that he feels not isolated. 
After his departure responsables have to reflect the development of 
Ben's and Silja's volunteer year, for a better understanding and learning.

Next sunday we (Helen and me, supported by Gesine) will do the internal 
preparation with Naomie. We hope that we will be successful to bring 
over the ewe-spirit.

Regards

Guido
