A lot of our time is spent out in the community visiting with families and communities and working at connecting baby with family while also assessing community for other resources that will help to make caring for their wee one in a safe and healthy manner.
So, while our numbers of babies is lower, the work in the community is more.
We also spend time with local ngo's trying to assess what their purposes are and now....next step will be to get the ngo's together to share our purposes and see how we can link with one another as linkages here are generally weak and a bit discombobulated!
A few days we visited OVO in Choma. They're a group who work only in community assisting orphans and vulnerables - and mainly with paying school fees, but also in feeding programs and providing psycho-social counselling as many kids struggle with grief issues.
