GRADUATE FEEDBACK

February 2023 Survey

YL Staff Role: Staff associate in the Great Katanga Area LUBUMBASHI DRC

Comments: It gives me great pleasure to serve God in a dedicated and diverse team that uses innovative approaches to reach lost youth. Working in a Christian organization like Young Life is a great opportunity that allows us to stay close to the Lord in the daily work of life.

Impact of DGL: This program absolutely and definitively changed my life in the sense that it contributed to making me a very useful person especially for my community and my country. I always tell myself often that, if I had not had the opportunity to be part of DGL, I would no longer be an intellectual who today initiates small community projects for the environmental development of his community. I also could not understand the Yes meaning of being a good Servant of Christ for the benefit of the people around me. So my perception of life has completely changed by program. At the begining of the program i was asking to my self what was the purpose of the blog questionnary, finally I came to understand that this accompanied not only my studies but also it formatted my reasoning and pushed me more and more to become very deep in the analysis of each situation of life.

Suggestions: Surely, I find that what DGL does is already great, but if something needs to be improved, it may be to give graduates the opportunity to pursue higher education for those who want to, but also to put in set up a department to follow up with unemployed graduates in order to encourage them to actively seek work or even recommend them in local companies if possible. In addition, once a year or after a given period, regional or international conferences of all graduate DGLs can be organized, depending on the means, in order to capitalize on them so that they continue to be profitable for Young Life. Either financially, spiritually, in resources, etc

Future involvement: Participate in trainings

Anything we can celebrate with you? March 23 was my birthday, and that day was truly a memorable day for me because my teamleaders and club leaders had surprised me by bringing me a birthday cake to my house with young girls from our neighbourhood clubs came in uniformes and dance to my hornor. It was really very nice.

Prayer requests: Pray for our regional DGL conference that we are organizing with the students of my country in the eastern party of the DRC and the Burundians ones with whom we will have the opportunity to spend the moment together from May 3 to 5, 2023. May God make regional conflicts does not affect this program and that the students are all in good shape to learn even more about the DGL program, about YL and especially about the Lord Jesus Christ.

Additional comments: Just say a thousand thanks to all our financial partners and to take together with our USA based DGL team for the great work done night and day to change humanity and especially the youth who are the foundation for a better world in the future.
