Hi Rebeka:<br />
<br />
I've attached a quarterly report from 2007 on SALT - it has some great stories and examples of applying SALT in all that you do.<br />

They live in outskirts of Jakarta ...a place more than a slum, they hung a wodden bench near a big canal ( which carries all dirty water of Jakarta), there was no grass or mud even in the ground ....it is full of garbage (i mean the garbage from the city had been dumped there some time ago to build the ground there). .....yet with all these people were happy there, smiling, talikg about their love life......it was so beautiful to see and share our experiences together. The transvesties had no place to live, one kind person has provided them a place...near the canal, where they share their pride, joy and challenges with each other!<br />

Hi Rebeka! Congratulations for your progress so far. For you to reach your currently level that leads to your question is great. The learning afternoon you are implementing with your colleagues is one of the strategies in spreading AIDS Competence. Also, sharing your experience in situations where the competence process could be applied is another. Your way of thinking is already positively affected as you seem to be applying SALT in your day-to-day practice. I hope my points will be of assistance and as a catalyst to keep you moving. If you are in an organization, you can introduce AIDS Competence to them.<br />

Hi Rebeka,<br />
<br />
I would like to share with you about the work of the Norwegian Church Aid in Thailand. They launched 350 SALT teams all over the country, who use SALT when doing home visits. The programme manager at the time said that this really improved the quality of their work. They developped a self-asessment on SALT (see attached). You could use this (and adapt it) with the teams in Merauke. If you want to know more about the work of NCA:…

I would like to share with you about the work of the Norwegian Church Aid in Thailand. They launched 350 SALT teams all over the country, who use SALT when doing home visits. The programme manager at the time said that this really improved the quality of their work. They developped a self-asessment on SALT (see attached). You could use this (and adapt it) with the teams in Merauke. If you want to know more about the work of NCA: <a href="http://www.aidscompetence.org/content/news/news_april_2008/nca.htm">http://www.aidscompetence.org/content/news/news_april_2008/nca.htm</a><br />
<br />
For me SALT really starts with myself. It always does. If I do not appreciate myself and I do not know how to stimulate myself in challenging situations I will not be able to do so with others. If I have prejudices against someone (and therefore I'm not SALTy) I try to reflect upon my own thoughts and try to soften my heart. I try to see why I have such a tough judgement. And softening that judgement towards others helps me to be more gentle with myself...<br />
It is difficult to convince anyone of SALT. The best way for me is to be SALTy... people around me will be intrigued and will want to know more about it. A great way of transferring SALT is also to create an opportunity for people to experience it for themselves. Can you organise a SALT visit for your colleagues?<br />
<br />
I totally agree with Jean-Louis that SALT can be measured with happiness. If I'm not happy, this is an indication that I was not SALTy with myself or others.<br />
<br />
All the best,<br />

I have been sailing in a small row boat on the river of life for nearly 17 yrs since the concept became our way of working .... we have had our share ups and downs as an NGO, personally as an individual and also the communities we have been working with have had theirs as well ............ but then thats the river of life.........so basically its all about change in ourselves first and then when it bears fruit sow the seeds.<br />

I am responding to the second aspect of " being calm in strong disagreement". To me it signifies clearly that you are in disagreement with the situaion and not with the individual.

Hi Rebeka Sultana,<br />
I am Prabakar from India. Your question is interesting and I have also asked this myself. I see lot of positiveness in the statements you have made. I am responding to the second aspect of " being calm in strong disagreement". To me it signifies clearly that you are in disagreement with the situaion and not with the individual. I say this because you are still relating to the individual by being calm and you are able to be there and appreciate the differences that prevails between you and others. People view situations and respond differently and you are there with them to learn from what they have experienced. I think you have covered almost all aspects of SALT through this like, Supporting their prespective, Appreciating their sharing and Appreciating the difference, being open to Learn about their prespective and using your experience with this group as a learning to Transfer to others. I am sure you that you are practicing SALT. I agree with Dr. JLL. I am not able to see a concrete way to measure SALT. I wish to share my experience. Once I was questioned by my director, how can you stay calm in a situaition where people completely disagree with you and when you are not in agreement with what they do or say. I replied that I believe that people have a valid reason to believe, to do or to say things is a particular way I cannot dismiss them just because I do not agree with it. They also have valid reasons based on their experiences as I have. Having said this I became very concious and i often check whether or to what degree I practice this. According to me i feel constantly checking oneself of these aspects in a good way of measuring.<br />
