A TRIBUTE TO MOTHERS
I greatly appreciated the opportunity given to me to listen to two mothers share their stories.
Mdm. E taught me that strong, deeply rooted desires and believing in “I CAN” (a person’s capabilities), is a path that leads to their achievements.
Mdm. E had a very hard life, a life of rejection. Listening to her, I could feel so much positive vibes in her, even though she has not experienced love and appreciation since childhood to her early adult life.
She shared…

In the shoes of a service user/participant
In the shoes of a service user/participant
I recently attended a painting workshop over three days that helped me to discover more about myself at least, to go beyond my fears. Being a leisure paint/art person I chose to attend this workshop because the criteria was, “ No painting or art experience is required.” which fitted quite well with me as a leisure artist. Also, I just wanted a break, to relax.
At the workshop I was surprised in many ways.…

For 20 years of my life, I’ve experienced the warmth of being in a three-generational family, all living under one roof. My grandparents have passed on several years back, but till date, I still count the fact that I once lived within a three-generational family as one of my greatest blessing. Being rather young, and growing up in a rather sheltered family, it is little wonder that the only ‘family’ I understand, is my biological and nuclear family. Unknowingly, my experience has shaped my…

Histoire 1 : Fin de la clandestinité lien avec l’inclusion
Autrefois, au centre de Toma, on entrait par la grande porte pour bénéficier du counseling et éventuellement faire son test de dépistage. A la fin, on sortait par la petite porte pour éviter de se faire voir par les passants indiscrets.
Maintenant, ceci n’est qu’un lointain souvenir. En effet, grâce à note association de PVVS, nous sommes sereins et confiants en nous-mêmes. Les activités des clubs d’écoute et culinaires,…

Avant lorsque le pasteur était mis au courant de l’infection d’un disciple de son ministère, il en informait sa hiérarchie qui prenait des mesures contre le pécheur. La personne était mis au banc des accusés de la communauté. Paer conséquence, le personne était aussitôt stigmatisée.
Certains jetaient le bébé avec l’eau du bain en déclarant.’’ Pourquoi appuyer les PVVS ? Il faut les laisser mourir, comme ça la maladie disparaîtrait avec elles’’
Mais grâce à l’association des PVVS avec…

La fin du programme étant annoncée pour bientôt, qu’allons nous devenir et que faire ? C’est ainsi que l’association a initié l’exploitation d’un champ collectif d’arachide à Toma. Le produit de sa récolte nous permet de tirer une pate entrainant dans l’assaisonnement des certains repas communautaires servis aux membres dans le but d’améliorer la qualité nutritionnelle de leur alimentation.
L’insuffisance pluviométrique de la saison dernière n’a pas entamé le moral des gens car nous…

Les populations, sciemment ou inconsciemment, prennent beaucoup de risques qui les rendent vulnérables au VIH et au sida.
Les facteurs favorisant cette vulnérabilité sont entre autres.
• Les cinq (5) heures : il s’agit de pratiques libertines qui débutent de 17 heures ou 5 heures du soir et prennent fin à 5 heures du matin ou le lever du soleil ;
• Les funérailles. Constituent des occasions de quartier libre où les gens donnent libre cours à leurs pulsions au cours de ces…

Is FEEDBACK important?
Do you share ? Are you getting or giving feedback?
Here's some of my thoughts on what I term as a very vital part of staying connected in our global community.
FEEDBACK, is a very important medium of TRANFERing knowledge and information. A small note in response to a writer makes them feel APPRECIATED and SUPPORTED, even in cases where there is nothing to add; just saying thank you goes a long way.
Feedback provides the writer…

“Let go and let God.” It’s a mantra of Alcoholics Anonymous. And after the last week or so, I’m wondering if it’s time for international aid to adopt the same approach to recovery (with more politically correct secular references of course).

One night I sat in front of my most treasured toy, the computer, staring, wondering how do I incorporate the ways of thinking and the ways of working of community life competence into my work, my home life, my life as is.

On Sunday, we had a soccer friendly amongst the youths and J.P Morgan. Since Boy A helped me to co-ordinate everything and was the I/C I sent him an SMS saying “You make an awesome youth leader, you guys did great today! Thanks for everything” His reply was “your welcome, I just want to make sure everything goes by plan. I won’t give up on those around me. I may get mad at times, but I would control”

Un jour, il se décida de rassembler les personnes vivant avec le VIH/SIDA mais se heurta au fait que toutes ne répondaient pas à l’invitation.
