<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Recently, the children have been playing different games in
small groups of peers. Brian, a Peace Corp volunteer, plays with them and shows
them how to play some of the games. Playing with puzzles is one of the
activities they enjoy the most <span style="color: teal;"><span class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:Alexandra%20Peard" datetime="2012-07-09T22:16"></ins></span></span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The Dutch Reformed Church group donated 60 dolls to the kids
club. Every doll looks different from the others. Before every child received a
doll, the children were told how each one is made special because no one looks
the same as the next one. They were told to accept and love themselves because
no one on earth looks exactly like anyone else.</span><br />

Two VSO volunteers joined the club and played some games with the children. The children had an opportunity to say what they enjoyed the most from the club activities during the year. They mentioned computer classes, sport and reading as the top 3 activities they enjoyed the most. We agreed to make a soccer and netball team next year and 4 children were nominated as team leaders for the sport groups.<br />The VSO volunteers promised to support the club next year by training more youth that should assist the club. This will be an opportunity to divide the club according to age groups to make it more manageable.<br /><br />In conclusion, a Red Cross board member addressed the children on the importance of attending the club so that they can gain information and skills through the games.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRSs01aceeBxaAYiodTb1iGXchE_8ArIrn0OHJcCOzep-nzc-p5RzG7Q4cQAKQQPjjiXJtpd_aeitekYLp2-K6eUcIulU8wP0uLB9gjNEP9Vp0OZB7zP0FFLv0rEbO30BjpMb_EIQojYyi/s1600/DSC07356.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px;

From now, the blog will be published every Wednesday. Let me just give you update on different activities that happened during this period.</div><br /><br /><div><em>Florence visit </em></div><br /><br /><div>Florence Ahlborne, a lady who is assisting the Omapitiroweyuva kids club and her sister, visited Opuwo in August. She met some of the kids at a church service where they welcomed her with a choir. They visited 2 volunteers at their homes and one teenage daughter that had to drop out of school due to pregnancy. She gave psychosocial support the daughter and one of the volunteer who just lost her child. The other volunteer whom she visited was Blaundina and her little Hope, who was 2 months by then. Florence gave bracelets to the children and these gift was very much appreciated.</div><br /><br /><div>Watching movies</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>The town of Opuwo experienced wind during the month of October and the children were forced to watch movies for 2 consecutive Fridays. Due to the large number of the attendance at the club, a movie does not require much space for movements as everyone will sit quiet and concentrates at the big screen.</div><br /><br /><div>Journals</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div>It was time to make sure that every journal in the shelf has an owner and everyone has a journal. Some of the children left the club due to different reasons like changing of schools while some are not interested anymore. In the contrary, a large number of children joined the club this year and are really enjoying every Friday. It made them very much proud to have a journal of their own. </div><br /><br /><div>Uharee nawa</div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div>Kakarandua</div></div></div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338443222757416946.post-56871684437526551042011-09-02T12:44:00.004+01:002011-09-02T16:44:42.676+01:00PicturesMetaha/Good day<div>

<br />
<br />Last Friday was the last day for the second school term and children came in big numbers. The bicycle shop provided 3 bicycles for the children to learn how to ride. Two bicycles were used by the older children and a small one for the younger children. The children who know how to ride a bike were teaching those who don' know. Sometimes pushing the bike and telling the one who is ridding to look forward was the only way to teach. For many children it was the first time to ride a bike and focus was therefore a challenge.
<br />While some were riding, the rest of the children were playing games. It was a lot of fun but also frightening for some children who never got a chance to ride a bike. Volunteers made sure that most of the children got a chance to ride. We realized that we should do more of this lessons until everyone knows.This Friday was the last day for the classes for this term and the children will go for the school holiday.

In each box, there were items such as shampoo, toothpaste, tooth brush, pens, different pencils, some note books, toys and games. Each box was different from the other as it was given by individual children. These gifts were facilitated by a friend in Outjo, Wilma Schoeman, who got them from Netherlands. Early this year, Wilma requested for a list of children to get the donation, therefore only children who were in the club last year received the gifts two weeks ago.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">The children who got games in their boxes were requested to donate them to the whole group. These games are kept at the office for everyone to play with. Last Friday, the children sat inside the office yard and chose games they wanted to play with; which varied from different puzzles, cards, dominoes, skipping robes, balls etc.<span> </span>Some games could <span> </span>be played by one person while others could be played in different group sizes.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">Each child took part in different games as he or she wished. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">It is real joy to watch children playing and enjoying themselves that much as we could see them jumping up and down with smiles on their faces. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">The Omapitiro Weyuva club is extending its gratitude to the children in Netherlands who donated the shoe boxes, Wilma Schoeman and everyone who facilitated this process for the gifts to reach our club. <span> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div>

The day is meant to commemorate and advocate for the rights of the child for education, health as well as the whole wellbeing of the child. This day has its origin back in 1976 in Soweto, Johannesburg in South Africa. For some schools, children are commemorating the day by performing different activities. In some schools, children will enjoy this day as a normal holiday where they will spend time at home with family. The last scenario was the case with some schools in Opuwo. They had school on the 16th and was given a holiday on the Friday, 17th June.<br />The right of children to have quality education is well said but many children are still constraint by many issues and cannot enjoy this right. The situation of the children of the Omapitiro Weyuva are classified under those which are not privelleged and therefore limited by different challenges. Lack of money to pay school fees, proper clothing, lack of toiletries and chronic illnesses for some of the children are some of the problems that unabling children to enjoy their rights.<br />Any donation in terms of clothing, cash to pay school fees and to buy entertainment facilities will make a difference.<br />I will extent my thanks to everyone who supported a child anywhere and those who contributed to the Omapitiro Weyuva kids club. Your contributions are making a difference in the chilfren lives of the children.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWF17L8ZbV4hdO9sWsoLK0o1jKhLbO7hupaUzgPK0cMvbM3DLIZRrrwBUXcgeAOI5jfqxSgaqw7cHSmNal4TNT3Pcm95Qea2GWXQa7mnEZzzKRBLbxQPiMOjL5bL8iW3OIMVO4FCeR5KDK/s1600/243.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621008292951812578" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWF17L8ZbV4hdO9sWsoLK0o1jKhLbO7hupaUzgPK0cMvbM3DLIZRrrwBUXcgeAOI5jfqxSgaqw7cHSmNal4TNT3Pcm95Qea2GWXQa7mnEZzzKRBLbxQPiMOjL5bL8iW3OIMVO4FCeR5KDK/s320/243.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Orphans and Vulnerable Children in Rundu, singing outside the Rundu Red Cross office<br /><br />Bye for now<br /><br />Uharee nawa<br />KakaranduaUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338443222757416946.post-52757081630073735832011-06-15T05:34:00.003+01:002011-06-15T07:18:21.898+01:00HarvestingMetaha<div><br /></div><div>The children went to the garden to assist with the harvesting of maize. They were divided in groups with a supervisor in each group. The grouping was to organize them so that they can work better as they had limited time. They worked for almost 2 hours before they were taken back to school. They were involved in the cultivation and weeding and now in the harvesting! This gave them a sense of ownership and they enjoyed themselves while getting the job done.<br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmdD6dwJQMltWeRfx00_9jnA7KNhr6hWKjjxAV-7pKvinc73ELg-yxiGlq9tU2NjzMKSiU3sgw42jtYYco7x25wyeTaThiYqNgtCt_8MpfxS7I-21YAD528UpuoL1X6q44GlXen4zvRwx_/s320/DSC05962.JPG" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618312119840706946" /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div> </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>One of the older boys selecting the good maize.</div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXQxTfFb8_YZLDmzMmV_82Mscve3qUIY5FxLo1E9iCcOqp_G5eVfwy1MJkpei3N6bzsIkUIb89r_QPMm4jo0mvPV6pDDCGMg8HEem-Xw6R-pPm4g1HRcU-3354sX75DpHae612XpSCOXwY/s1600/DSC05985.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXQxTfFb8_YZLDmzMmV_82Mscve3qUIY5FxLo1E9iCcOqp_G5eVfwy1MJkpei3N6bzsIkUIb89r_QPMm4jo0mvPV6pDDCGMg8HEem-Xw6R-pPm4g1HRcU-3354sX75DpHae612XpSCOXwY/s320/DSC05985.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618312057610947762" /></a><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div> </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>A community member assisting with harvesting.</div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5MJ_lkTWA0y94EDf3FoNaI8UmZLYMGjE6iwjk0o2j64-lht5pA1voIrIA6DrXRZf7q_FD04D7VEERtWk_D7yJZE_ueThvtMfdwk1PBn3d_0SY5Qg7saZC7MINwVOt_og9NKieUuP8-B5u/s1600/DSC05964.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5MJ_lkTWA0y94EDf3FoNaI8UmZLYMGjE6iwjk0o2j64-lht5pA1voIrIA6DrXRZf7q_FD04D7VEERtWk_D7yJZE_ueThvtMfdwk1PBn3d_0SY5Qg7saZC7MINwVOt_og9NKieUuP8-B5u/s320/DSC05964.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618312052845836914" /></a><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div> </div><div>The maize will be put on top of this structure to dry.

Maize is covering one third of the garden. Pumpkins, butternuts, tomatoes, spinach and carrots cover another portion of the garden. Almost half of the garden is currently being prepared for other vegetables and will be utilized when water is available.<br /><div>The generator which are pumping water from the bore hole is out of order but a solar energy is been awaited to be instaledl by June this year. This is a donation by private people from South Africa. It will hopefully solve the water problem once and for all.</div><div><br /></div><div>Fruit trees(papaw, lemon and guava) are also growing well and 1 papaw tree is bearing fruit already.</div><div><br /></div><div>The children need to be involved at the garden, so that they learn to earn and to give to others in need. They came on Friday and slept in tents at the garden and went back on Monday afternoon. That Monday was a public holiday.</div><div><br /></div><div>Uharee nawa</div><div><br /></div></div></div></div></div><div><br /></div><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMKCcVxNGfX9trIqCWr1yGQD8GneaYbMxKQ1OWKDPMFqiGxUUj1T4o6rS6cC5kke020w1s6hWO1xmpseVl6wteDNkRI5ZsIc0AKMJHy_LeZKGhPsM-aDOhaPbe79Svbxia0OBNYQ71BwTs/s320/DSC05236.JPG" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588479333098167058" /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /><div><div><br /></div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Sticks are needed to stabilize the tomato's trees</div><div><br /></div><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsEukiCDqi5xVFOoiB0gEIlDtcxAGkPDuwSOYJtxxCm45moZntslDF4vVjYI7NkfRCeIuc7NEHnZeDdYQ-DQZB5b0PpRcU_wFwOCBj5OZ0qrKyYwKWLQJdWKRxTUmIUurNJWSM2jNKvBjw/s320/DSC05141.JPG" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588477406356881426" /></div><div><br /></div><div> </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>A girl, hard at work in the garden</div><div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU3WCb6bjCdKuasfYhMJkxoXUuDBW7wyp-KPM1aE513_9fFO6hyB7NPc_lB4T3r9bSuf06FwnsClLFLlYVFEBe6B3any6AUn67-70TyrG5i2hYADqYR6xU0I3xhE8gHhS4eLW8chYX9GRX/s1600/DSC05233.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU3WCb6bjCdKuasfYhMJkxoXUuDBW7wyp-KPM1aE513_9fFO6hyB7NPc_lB4T3r9bSuf06FwnsClLFLlYVFEBe6B3any6AUn67-70TyrG5i2hYADqYR6xU0I3xhE8gHhS4eLW8chYX9GRX/s320/DSC05233.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588472458728534130" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a></div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Girls are preparing lunch</div><div></div><div><br /></div><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU2kVHXt-VVtJo1x04mf1M_h4h81kuHeNn1FL2X2NjApwsJjVezSRXlrGr-qAADx5vmRJINVrOPQPxHUTYkrrvS3LwbjiL3E9xY2_KJE_x5otOsMgr3Fefotm4c9nT4XG1EhqlKYI5H_S8/s320/DSC05159.JPG" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588472439150287938" /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Tomatoes, few weeks before the harvest </div><div><br /></div><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhp0EL971vBc95bbo1vcnn1BMGPU84sBfBOk57IA1QK_ZZCNy7OBFrpcV12L6fEqRc_EVc-VeqWnl6glStpS627xaVgZ4BmtXR0me9z-fS4GV6f6QzYPklOOzKRR59X208ZpXLFTxyFVDl/s320/DSC05240.JPG" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588475093381495650" /><div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Preparing to go back to school</div><div> </div></div></div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
