Capacity building workshops at Matunda Bora
This week we
have been busy developing teacher workshops for the teachers at Matunda Bora. These
workshops are an example of the capacity building work we do with members of
the community. Mr. Opiyo, the head teacher,
along with the other teachers, highlighted key areas for us to concentrate on
in the teacher workshops where GVI might most be able to help. The first topic
this week was time and stress management. We had some great brainstorming
sessions as a group about what we thought would be most important to include
and questions we should have the teachers think about. Then I put it all
together in one beautiful PowerPoint ready for the workshop on Thursday.

At the school we
set up the projector in the rather cramped office and huddled around. Sophie,
leading the workshop, introduced the topic and encouraged the teachers to speak
freely. They were quiet at first but gradually some of them began to speak up
more and more. My Opiyo chimed in with some gems of hilarity which got everyone
laughing. The workshop seemed to go down well and the teachers responded
positively, lots were taking notes and seemed engaged with what we were talking
about. I feel really positive about how it went and hope we can continue to
build upon the workshops and get the teachers discussing more and more openly
each week.
