Another moment is here with us to share some of the memorable moments that we have had with our participants. We have reached a record of 243 Children who are taking part in our Community impact program on a weekly basis, thanks to your support. I have witnessed a significant change of behavior of the Children who were once quiet, reserved and engulfed with low self-esteem becoming confident, resilient and full of energy.
One of the ways that we monitoring and evaluation, especially how the participants attend community impact sessions is through attendance register, the register has all the names of all participants and it is mark after every session by the coaches.
Normally, the Community Coaches are the one who are in charge of marking the attendance register and the do a follow up of those who are not in the session with either the parents or the school administration, but gradually. The notion has changed now, the youth leaders are now in charge of taking the register at the end of the session, It has become so easy to identify who is missing for the youth leaders even before looking at the register. Towards the end of the school calendar, these you leaders will be given an opportunity to conduct part of the sessions that they have learned since the beginning of the year. They will be paired in groups of three young leaders and demonstrate the activity to the rest of the group.
I believe that by giving this young people simple tasks and responsibilities helps them to develop their character and resilience to become role models, these simple steps will help them identify their potential while they are still young.
I believe that we are creating an educational system that is not only testing their mind and capabilities with fact and figures but teach them to be creative, what it takes to be human, to value human life. Through Our methodology, we hope to give our participants a direction, to bounce back from adversity and become asset and not liabilities in the community.
Asanteni Sana….Thank you very much for your support.
