Motiviting everybody

While waiting for permission to enter schools to conduct awareness raising and inclusive activities for the Right to Education for children with disabilities, the Self Help Group (SHG) has begun preparing materials.

Due to the limited number of computers and the fact that the male youth already have quite good computer skills, the girls have been concentrating on producing the materials on the computers, leaving the boys feeling that they are not contributing to their full capacity.

As some of the boys work and it will be most likely that the girls will go to teach and run activities in the schools, we have decided to enlist the help of the Nabil Badran’s computer support person to work with the boys to put together a workshop on photoshop. At least 3 of the boys are experts in this programme, so they will collaborate to plan and deliver a workshop for the rest of the SHG. In this way, their confidence to plan and teach will increase and at the same time building the capacity of the whole group.

Once the SHG has had the opportunity to become confident with this programme, they will then run workshops with the teachers in Nabil Badran Centre and Women’s Humanitarian Organisation and the two community committees, furthering their presentation skills and building the capacities of the community.
