The three home based care groups are doing awareness campaigns at the local churches. They started before the world cup and are continuing throughout the world cup. The topics that are discussed are: human trafficking, abuse and domestic violece, and rape. Mdumbi has done three awareness campaigns, Philisa two and Siyakhula four.
On the 15th of June, two carers from each home based care group went to attend a candle light memorial at Mgwenyane clinic at Libode.
Mdumbi said they have a site now for their office. The owner of the land passed away, so his parents are donating the land for the home based care office. We are waiting for a signed letter from the parents and the headman of the village saying this before anything further happens.
Mdumbi is also looking for chairs. When they receive visitors, they have nothing to offer their visitors to sit on.
Philisa is planning to do a big awareness campaign on the 30th of July at their office.
Lindelwa, the home based care coordinator, was invited by the hospital board to be a part of their monthly meeting. They are discussing how the home based care program and the hospital can work better together.
Next Temba training will be on the 26th of July for five days.
The small project foundation is going to provide 200 OVCs with peanut butter, so Siyakhule is planning to have an event that day as well, to talk about teenage pregnancy and STIs.
