Progress

Last Wednesday group A of the Self Help Group (SHG) met to continue making teaching materials and to take a workshop in ‘Photoshop’ run by two of the SHG themselves.

When we started making power point presentations at the beginning of the year, it took the group 3 to 4 hours to put one together. Last Wednesday, one of the girls from the group completed one in 40 minutes.

The two photoshop experts displayed their teaching skills, by talking each member of the group through the procedure to cut out a figure from a photo, paste it onto a blank page, but a different background on the photo, remove blemishes from skin and to duplicate the photo and change the colours and hues.

One of the girls who until now had not been at all interested in doing any of the work was not only enthusiastic about making the first photo but also wanted to keep the computer to work on the second one. One of the boys who had also been disinterested in the groups activities asked for the computer program to take home and install on his computer to practice at home.

As a facilitator for the group, it was an encouraging day to see all so enthused and motivated.

Stay tuned for more positive updates and photos from the workshop
