the Uganda Co-Lab™ held its first lesson<\/strong><\/a> for Sister Agnes and Sister Dolly of the Awach Parish. This was co-facilitated by Dr. Richard Jorgensen and Father Santo. Following this discussion, Father Santo lent his observations and contributions to this Co-Lab™ experience.<\/p>\nFather Santo previously introduced the need for male elders in families and the community to serve as grandpa <\/em>role models.<\/p>\nDr. Jorgensen assured Father Santo that this grandpa principle<\/em> and structure is a key element of successful collaboration groups and infused into the architecture of the Co-Lab™ Research Institute and related Co-Labs™.<\/p>\n\nWithin the Co-Lab™ architecture we define the grandpa elements as those of:
- Acceptance
- Understanding
- Forgiveness<\/p>\n
This is an important functionality in social development. If the younger generation is accepted by the elders, then the youth do not have to prove and defend themselves. They are more open to receive teaching and more willing to apply new insight (AdI™).<\/p>\n
Elder male role models are just one of the many dimensions of the Co-Lab™, which provides the structure for community development and generational inclusion. This is not to diminish the need for elder female role models (grandmas), it is only to recognize the importance of the celebration of Father\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n
By recognizing the need and value of legacy, and by providing the principle based structure, we create the opportunity for restoration of multi-generational unity.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The Co-Lab Shepherd (Fr. Santo) followed up the transaction with a published letter from the Pope on the importance of fatherhood.<\/p>\n
