It ws hard to bid farewell to Fr. Jun Mercado, OMI who has become a near permanent "fixture" at the SCBRC Office. His smile and greetings as he walked in the Office every morning were the new wind that pervaded the office in the three months he spent with us.
The most appreciated contribution that Fr. Jun gave the SCBRC Office was his "accompaniment" of the Secretary General - Fr. Anthont Bangoye. Fr. Jun's stint in the office was a veritable partnership that was enhancing and empowering the potentials of both Fr. Anthony and the SCBRC personnel.
During his early stay with us, he accompanied the young Atty. Julius Ojok and Ms. Dina Kemunto of the Justice and Peace Department. Together they managed the J & P Training of Trainers Workshop in Rumbek, South Sudan. His specialty in peacemaking and Social Reconstruction were very much appreciated by the JP Coordinators form the 6 Dioceses of the South Sudan. During the said workshop, he also introduced his "healing" and energizing exercises to the delegates.
On the second month, he conducted an Effective Financial Management for key personnel in the Finance and Administration Departments with the participation of the Administration of the Diocese of Torit.
The last month of his stay was work spent for the Communications Department. He designed and launch three virtual platforms for the SCBRC: The Web Site at http://scbrc.net, the blogspot for the immediate press rleases of SCBRC at http://scbrc-secretariate.blogspot.com and the interactive forum on issues affecting the Sudan. he also trained the key staff for each department to manage and run the three virtual paltforms for the SCBRC.
We bid him farewell... wishing that he will soon be back to help SCBRC to re-locate itself in Juba.
