Days out for girls, women, boys, kick started with the a number of students who were trained by American Foundation for Children with AIDS Volunteers on how to make pads using their local available materials not only putting into consideration buying already made pads which is costly. So as the trainings carried on students got to explore new skills and techniques of learning how to make skirts, blouses, bags, and knickers
This kept students very busy throughout the week while getting involved in different hand related activities which went on successfully well with the help of jean and Erica who kindly volunteered to help students come up with skills in making or sewing different types of wares.
It was noticed that the training was not only in consideration for students involved In tailoring school but also a number of pupils together with their senior woman teacher who was involved in making of skirts, cutting and pinning of pads while others were sewing which was great sign of interest to the adolescent girls which led to sharing creative activities to build skills in social interaction, conflicts resolution, personal responsibilities, deepen critical thinking skills, create awareness of influences in their lives, reinforce self-confidence and expand natural talents and abilities.
Feeling about the theme; girls day out brought concerns about a relationship, where a total of 14 students were awarded certificates of attendance and accomplishment which really kept students in a happy moment and in turn they were able to receive their gifts (packages), joined in a get-together party with community volunteers, stake holders, our dear visitor (Val’s team), and shared good moments.
Having been trained, one student Jane was able to appreciate services rendered their time and wished the team a happy stay when they get home. Students promised to keep on with the exercise as trained.
God bless jean and Erica for such a great effort they put towards imparting new skills and ideas in our students which has left a great impact in their lives.
