Rimi and the rest of the team continued with a mapping process with the young people that had not finished on the last visit. The young people gathered together and mapped out their strengths. They also mapped out their vision of how they want their community to be seen in the near future. They talked about these issues and begun to think of strategies on how young people can respond better.
Tomorrow, five of the young people are joining the team at the 'house' as part of the mentoring process. We live very far away from the community and its been challenging to find sufficient time for close strategic mentoring/discipleship for some of the young people. Ten young people are visioning to form a community response team. Girls and boys together wanting to make a difference. Most of them have been participating in the K-clubs too and are able to work with children.
The catholic pastor, in the meeting this afternoon, expressed his desire for YCD processes in the community, that will link with work for children and support care to be transfered through the YCD links. Its his vision that through these processess, illitracy will be curbed.
The women are also visioning to form a women support group; to respond to the issues of 'poverty'. They no longer want to borrow money from Micro-credit schemes, those put them in 'cycles' of debts and they are done with that. They will raise their own capital and support each other.
