Wonderful progress is happening toward putting an end to caning in schools in Tanzania...
Several social change organizations in Kenya are showing interest in The Virtues Project and have pledged to participate in virtues training in the near future. (Unfortunately, violence against children in schools, which led to more deaths of children, has enhanced collaboration with The Virtues Project.)
A Swahili version of the Family Virtues Cards has been designed and is soon to be in production. Currently, a review team is offering final recommendations to the design team. Once the cards are in production an application for smartphones will also be made available. Virtues cards will help spread the language of virtues and The Five Strategies of The Virtues Project!
A youth detention center has now received training in The Virtues Project. The training was well received by the youth and staff. Not only was it an enjoyable time for all, but many talents were discovered!
The evaluation program, running in six schools, continues slowly. More funding is needed for additional follow-up refresher training and evaluations before a final report will be drafted. The costs of travel, meals, and training are substantial mainly due to the distances between schools which require additional lodging and meals.
We thank you for your generous support of the work we do. With your continued charitable contributions and sharing of these reports, we will bring The Virtues Project to schools in Tanzania to replace caning with positive discipline tools!
