United Nations Convention on Children's rights

Osco, the ZMF-C sponsored Social Worker who lives with us has been guiding the grade 6 and 8 pupils at Siabalubi and Nalabumba schools. He engages with them about sex ed and also about various topics related to hopefully learning how to make good choices.

We're using the "Auntie Stella" package donated to us by Salon Foundation. (Auntie Stella can be found on the internet) The approach is all about very frank discussion on what to do when.....various subjects mostly about sexual health.

As well, we've done a few sessions on Children's rights. The right to education, the right to health, the right to live with your parents, the right not be abused.....

We use a very participative approach - with fairly decent participation.

These are kids....one day.....I was asking a pupil to find a date on what I thought was a cell phone that he had in his pocket. It turned out to be a dead bird in the pocket, instead. He'd been hunting, and it was to be eaten for his supper!
