Abstract
Drastic changes have been introduced the annual Tangaza Community Exchange widely viewed as a mechanism to streamline the program.
Participants are now required to apply directly to the cornmunities to be visited. They should also specify the apt dates for the
visit clearly stating the intent and import of the visit. Communities
will then communicate directly to the individual after a prior interview with the house superior.
This is a major departure from
tradition where the SRC and the office of the DPSL were responsible for the coordination. Critics however complain that" the pro- cedure is unnecessarily too bureaucratic."
But the BOG visiting team on February 3 defended the changes saying applications will facilitate planning for the visitors. The
same is corroborated by Mrs. Ebale,
Tangaza's DPSL, who said the changes
were necessary to give the program meaning. Ebale acknowledges that the
exchange had lost direction.
She told Update that at one
time she convened a four-member committee that prescribed
stringent measures aimed at
curbing abuse of the program.
However, her recommendations
were replaced by the Formation
Council, which proposed the current
changes. Father Rolandi Giovanni
