Jana, being the oldest sister of 3 girls was greatly traumatized by her father’s death and whatfollowed afterwards. The family of her father believed that Jana’s mom was the one that bewitched her husband, therefore they were treated very badly by the father’s family. They took everything they had and left them with nothing and homeless.
Jana was very much traumatized and did not behave normal anymore. She had to leave school because of her mental condition. One day she stepped in the Red Cross office, confused and with tears in her eyes. One could immediately tell that something was not right with her. We let her watched cartoons and the volunteer working with OVC just sat and watched the video with her. We gave her a journal and let her write everything she felt in the journal.
After sometime of attending the classes, Jana became the shining star , happy and very committed girl of the Omapitiro Weyuva class. She passed her grade 10 last year. The Red Cross is paying her school fees. Last year she attended Psychosocial Support classes with other 10 children.
The Omapitiro Weyuva class is very proud to have contributed positively to her life. In her journal she is showing her new place where they leaving now.
Jana, mapping the places she visited in the past dew years. Visiting places is a great achievement for the kids.
