Je viens de terminer les séries d’atelier d’initiation à l’approche SALT. Des activités réalisées auprès des communautés dans les 11 régions, en collaboration avec l’Unicef Madagascar. Cela entre dans le cadre de la promotion des pratiques familiales essentielles et de la campagne de vaccination. A mon avis, l’apprentissage a été un succès. L’approche a été appréciée voire adoptée par les participants. Ils ont commencé à planifier des petites actions faisables. Mais ici, j’aimerais partager,…

I have heard it said that "we are one nation - a human nation." By embracing this belief as a starting point in any connection made between individuals, the resulting dissolution of divisiveness enables true possibility to emerge.

This quote was shared through the Axiom News channels. Thank you Rituu for the invitation to share…

 The first CLCP facilitator's team in Tanzania. The team has 7 facilitators and not all of them appear on this photo. It was a great experience and as a social worker i enjoyed every move about the SALT visits.

Good morning! I've been invited to share this blog post on listening, so here it is! I hope you enjoy it! I've also been asked by our dear colleague Rituu how I have used listening in my work.

My intention is not just to listen for the facts, but the essence, the energy and the possibility in a person's story. I hope to share more about this in a coming blog post. In the meantime, be well!…
