Home Based Care Training pt 1

A Bridge of Hope

We had such fun at our training on Wednesday. 38 people turned up but it was exciting that 2 men joined the 36 women.

The ice-breaker was such a laugh as each person introduced themselves and did an action to reflect what they enjoy doing. Imitating each person was hilarious.

I then asked each person to draw a picture of how they see their future in 5 years; how they hoped to impact their community. Very interesting ideas came up but the most common was looking after the orphans in the community. Linked to this activity was “Walking the Bridges” – a journey of getting to our dream island – our future. While trying to get our future island we can encounter many challenges, trials and obstacles. It is easier to overcome these obstacles if we have the help of family, friends, communities and churches to reach our dream island. The participation was excellent.
