Every week starts with Monday meeting in the office
going through current matters and planning for the coming work week. It is
important to gather at least once a week to discuss, to brainstorm and to
develop solutions.
Updates from the meeting 12th of November with raised problems and suggested solutions:
· The
Tusome program is continuing but with to high absence
rate. Field officer Gethu have met teachers and social workers involved and the
way forward is to meet parents to the children with high absence in the program
in order to find out why and what can be done. Nine parents came to the first
meeting which was more than expected.
ð Meetings
with the parents, followed up by meetings together with the children and home
visits when needed. Background and their thoughts on the children and education
are gathered and simultaneously discussions with the parents are held.
·
The caregivers need to be strengthened in
their parent role
ð For
that a pilot group is collected of 10-11 parents where awareness is raised on
good parenting and talks on children’s need and one parent will be responsible
and gatherer of the group.
ð The
parents should be provided with literacy skills and to raise their confidence
and encourage them to support their children to education and funding for
raised for the matter.
- The para-social workers and NIHEP have had discussions of important matters but many of them are still unclear about their role and are not always reporting cases of abuse and maltreatment. Cases of malnutrition have been discovered by NIHEP.

para-social worker.
