Our
activities this week with the street connected children focus on Interactive
session, psychosocial activity (Ludo, Chess & football games) and
Children’s Day Celebration.
It
was a wonderful week out there with street connected children. The staff
engaged these children in interactive session to advise them on how to stay safe
and not get involved in any criminal
activities in the course of them
searching for livelihood in the street to prevent unnecessary harassment from
the security personnel who perceived them as a criminal.
Also
psychosocial activities session was so interesting as the staff throw more life and fun with
their field activities by engaging them in football match as they pair in
groups, while some played chess and the
rest played Ludo game among themselves. All these psychosocial activities ends
with winners emerging from each games.
GSK
TEAM also ensures that our OVC beneficiaries were not left behind as the staff
check on them in their various vocational centre's to access their performance
and commitment towards their skills acquisition and in which their bosses gave a good comment about them.
The Children's Day Celebration was colourful
and awesome ,as the street connected children turn out in numbers to participate
in the event which also draw the attention of the passer-by ,as they stood by to
feed their eye as the events roll out with wonderful music from the disc joker,
who happen to be one of the street children. The event started with a talk
session on moral values as the staff took their time out to educate them on importance
of moral values .Before the talk session was brought to an end, different
questions was asked by the children , in which the staff provide answers to
them.
After
the session ,music was played and the children
including the staff and volunteers all danced.
At the end of the activities snacks and drinks was given to the children as refreshment to celebrate them on a special day like this just like every other children at home.
