Anglican Alliance launches “Agents of Change” in Honiara

Tuesday, July 23rd, 2013

The Anglican Alliance’s biggest capacity building program Agents of Change has been launched in Honiara, the capital of the Solomon Islands.

The Church’s Melanesian Board of Mission’s Secretary, Fr George Elo, helped to launch the study program with the Anglican Alliance Pacific Facilitator, Tagolyn Kabekabe.

The course – a distance learning course in community development skills – has been developed especially for the Anglican Alliance by Open University, the world famous distance learning university based in the UK.

A total of 11 participants from the Solomon Islands are undertaking the program which will run for six months. The participants are drawn from all walks of life and are all very enthusiastic about their participation.
