Hi – Megan the head social worker here.
Here is our latest video our our volunteer training week
As you know – our main aim is to tackle baby abandonment but we also want to tackle the root cause of why Mother’s choose to abandon their children in the first place so we can prevent it occurring by offering counseling and support.
We ran a fantastic week long course with 17 volunteers from the local community at the Ndere Centre in Kampala who very kindly gave us love and their facilities for free! We invited along several speakers to train them in areas such as: baby growth and development, nutrition and hygiene, bonding and attachment, family planning, child protection and counselling skills.
Our Volunteers
It all proved a great success and the next stage for the volunteers is to match them up with suitable Mother’s at risk in the community so they can put into practice their newly learnt skills.
Meanwhile – back at the house – things are moving on at pace. There are workers swarming all over the place as we get ready to take our first babies hopefully sometime in April.
