How do you relate a Youth Capacity Development (YCD) and Human Capacity Development (HCD) programmes?
Dear ukeme, This is simple for me, we as young people need to stop in many case putting our self away from the general population since we end up their anyways, we need to start thinking holistically when approaching to address Youth Capacities, the Overarching Vision/Dream is the HCD, but we can first stat at looking at YDC once we have clear strategies, we them look at other most-at-risk/vulnerable communities (Sexual minorities, Women etc) But not for getting that with in the Youth population their is these vulnerable groups... Easy to say HCD and YDC is a ll in all one concept used at different level based on the populace
What is your based-line for working with the Orphaned and Vulnerable Children (OVC)?
Not sure what u asking here, But i do not work with OVC's so i need some clarity.. i think my understanding of OVC might be a bit different from yours...because of regional difference. Just to say that I am a UN Volunteer and i am attached to an NGO call Volunteer Youth Corps and their vision is the contribute to youth and Children for them to have better quality of life and access to Services. I have however worked with OVC in the past but it's based on different things HIV, Living conditions, Self-esteem issues, or some other social issues trying to delay or just empower for better future

Dear Ukeme,
We deeply respect how you are living your life to make life in Nigeria more healthful and disease-free.
In parallel, we are interested in providing encouragement and tools for needed, successful face-to-face communication and authentic Dialogue with it's new quality of listening-to-learn.
Broken communication can lead to not HIV but perhaps even more deadly disease, HRV which is Human Relationship-Deficiency Virus first expalined to us in Jos last October 2010 --

We are presently working hard to edit a new documentary film about the success of the 200 brave Muslims and Christians in youth interfaith Dialogue -- http://traubman.igc.org/nigeria2010.htm
Please keep on your path of excellence, Ukeme.

Ukeme,
You asked about overcoming people's resistance to testing. People have many "reasons" and experiences causing them to distrust.
Like the public peace process itself, trust begins with relationships -- time for listening to a person's story, time for empathy, time to share your own story and deep interest in the other person.
Trust cannot be expected or demanded, because it is hard-won and requires you to show that you are trustworthy beginning with your heart connection and sincere expressions of interest in the "other."
Of course, none of this is new to you.
But please know that all of this is universal around our beautiful, perfectly diverse Earth.
Love, Libby and Len
