On 23 December 2009, Riverkids held a Parents Meeting with 45 families in Blum. These are parents whose children are enrolled in our grade 1 and 2 programs and our Get Ready Boys in Blum.
We discussed about their children’s studies, healthcare for mothers and their babies and plans for the next semester. The families were encouraged to take interest in their children’s studies and play a more active role in monitoring their progress together with us.
We stressed the importance of Family values to them by encouraging them to watch a particular cartoon video. Mothers are once again reminded on the ‘know-hows’ of child-birth and post-natal care while both parents on good parenting methods.
We were greatly encouraged to receive 3 very important requests from the parents:
- “We request Riverkids’ help to support our children until they reach university.”
- “We hope Riverkids will continue to provide transportation for our children because we live far away from your school house.”
- “We like Riverkids to continue to follow up closely with our childrens’ studies at the state schools and in your school house.”
With these, we know that our hard work had not been in vain – we managed to gain the trust of the community in letting us keep their children safe and bring across the benefits of education.
These are 2 important achievements which also imply that there is more to strive for in improving the lives of the people in the community.
Thanks to the support of our donors and the hard work of all our colleagues. We are looking forward to the new year!
