“I am here to serve you all.” This was the message of His Excellency the Apostolic Nuncio to Kenya, Most Rev. Charles Daniel Balvo to a group of thirty AMECEA Bishops he met in Nairobi. Speaking at a training workshop organized by AMECEA in collaboration with USCCB, the nuncio expressed his willingness to support and work with AMECEA Bishops at all time.

The training workshop was part of the implementation process of the AMECEA/USCCB capacity building project, which started last year. So far this was the second group of the AMECEA Bishops to receive the training; the first group was trained in May 2012.
Just like in the case of the previous group the following topics were covered:
· Meaning and Importance of Strategic Pastoral Planning in the Church
· Investments
· Strategic Pastoral Planning Process, Monitoring and Evaluation
· Integral Human Development
· Leadership in the Church Institutions
· Social Pastoral Communications
Other groups which will be considered later for the same training include diocesan secretaries, diocesan chancellors and diocesan development coordinators, together with National Secretary generals, heads of Catholic Universities and institutes of higher learning within AMECEA Region, staffs of national secretariats, priests, laity and religious men and women who are involved in different levels of leadership.
Also present during the training workshop was Mr. Fritz Zuger from USCCB's National Office of Collection. The training begun on 13th May and ended on 17th May.
