Sr. Chandana Rebecca Rozario’s journey in Cameroon is a testament to the power of education, compassion, and interreligious harmony. As a missionary dedicated to uplifting disadvantaged youth, especially girls, her professional training centre in Garoua stands as a beacon of hope.
Sr. Chandana Rebecca Rozario runs a professional training centre in Garoua, Cameroon, offering vocational training and literacy classes to young women. The centre also provides housing for girls who live far away.
One story highlights the transformative impact of this inclusive approach. One day, a Muslim man approached Sr. Chandana, asking her to admit his sister into the boarding program. Initially hesitant due to the centre’s Christian background, Sr. Chandana was impressed by the man’s trust, perseverance, and his sister’s need. She decided to make an exception.
This decision opened a world of opportunity for the young Muslim woman. She thrived in the program, overcame her shyness, learned French, excelled in her studies, her skills flourished, and her confidence soared. She not only acquired vocational skills but also embraced strong moral and spiritual values. This transformation embodies the power of education and the beauty of interfaith understanding.
It reminds us that embracing differences fosters growth and that even small acts of trust can have a profound impact. Imagine the possibilities when young people of all faiths can learn and grow together, side by side!
In a world often divided by religious differences, this particular incident paved the way for the centre to reach out to all people. Now the centre serves as a model of unity, where individuals of diverse backgrounds come together to pursue common goals and build a brighter future for themselves and their society.
