Africa-Press – Seychelles. <\/strong><\/span>The Ile Pers\u00e9v\u00e9rance Seventh Day Adventist group has organised a community outreach for its Global Youth Day programme that will meet the needs of the people in their community.<\/p>\n

Adventist youth ministries\u2019 director Avilla Meriza and Adventist\u2019s mission leader Abel Ntep, who is also the pastor for the Ile Pers\u00e9v\u00e9rance Seventh Day Adventist group, kicked off the event with a prayer at the district administrator\u2019s office on Saturday in the presence of the director general for community affairs within the Ministry for Local Government and Community Affairs, Denise Clarisse and members of the Adventist youth ministries.<\/p>\n

The theme for the Global Youth Day activity is \u2018Reaching out to the forgotten\u2019. \u201cThere are some people in the community who have been forgottenin the sense that they are suffering alone and don\u2019t have anyone to lean on or talk to,\u201d Ms Meriza said.<\/p>\n

She added that they aim to reach out to widows, widowers, and orphans who have lost one or both parents. The activity seeks to target 22 households with a reach of 30 to 40 people.<\/p>\n

Community affairs director general Denise Clarisse said coincidentally the donation is a symbolic gesture as 2022 marks 10 years since the first residents of Ile Pers\u00e9v\u00e9rance 2 moved into their homes. She added that \u201cit takes one to make a difference\u201d, noting that their gesture might be small but homes and people they will touch will be moved by their gestures.<\/p>\n

Ms Meriza said the kids present had prepared and contributed little trinkets themselves to fill the donation hampers while faithful sponsors have helped to fill the baskets. The hampers were then donated to the widows, widowers and orphans at Ile Pers\u00e9v\u00e9rance, an activity that Ms Meriza said is to encourage them and show them that they are loved and there are others who remember them. \u201cWe remember them even if we cannot be there with them every day,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

The approximately 70 members present represented the Adventist youth ministries (young adults aged 22 and up), Ambassadors (aged between 16 and 21 years old), Pathfinders (10 to 15 years old) and Adventurers (from the tender age of 4 to 9 years old).<\/p>\n

Adventist\u2019s mission leader Pastor Abel Ntep said the Adventist Church in its movement and vision is to enable us to remember that our essential work is to go towards others and present them with God\u2019s message.<\/p>\n
