Today, after our worship; we had a debrief of yesterdays processes; and planned for the youth and kids connections this afternoon. We also spent time looking at adventure based learning; as one of the key elements for PSS but also for our own fun!
Today, 26 June 2008,
Shital and I, were left at the 'house', while the team alongside the Local Facilitation team in the community led a community kids and youth club ( K-club) with a total of over; 100 children, youth and mothers participating. The team practiced the three fold of a normal community PSS process.
*****
Large group formation, with ice-breakers;
small groups formation, with specific guidance and focused games for a debrief and analysis
Large group 'in-flow' of all small groups for a wider sharing on lessons learnt.
******
With enough time; A Facilitation team, going through a PSS K-club cycle, could do home visits as the next phase even during a K-club afternoon; otherwise, linkages to homes are helpful, even if not within the K-clubs allocated times.
As we are aware that the main issues the community is struggling with is; early marriages, and illiteracy; the questions surrounded those areas too. Its an entry point to a wider community response. Psycho Social support; and a transfer of energy, vision and lessons from children to their homes.
Interesting and encouraging; that in this community, mothers are joining the K-clubs too. Its not unusual though; since most of the mothers are around 16 - 23yrs old; most of them still 'young' and find it interesting to 'play' and be youthful. Most likely, something they have 'missed' out on.
