As our GHNI team works toward Transformational Community Development (TCD) in our village Djorgovska mahala, women have begun finding ways to encourage change during the week. They know that the results of their support are renovated apartments and built bathrooms with sanitary appliances. They also work toward complete change in their settlement. Parents and children are happy. Children help their parents in maintaining the hygiene of bathrooms, apartments, and personal hygiene.
Changes are visible and praised by parents. We have three groups of women with about 30 members.
A group of children also works to implement their knowledge. We are teaching them about:
In their families, they listen to their parents. From listening, they learned that cursing and speaking ugly words is not respecting others. Now they know to say sorry, please, thank you, not to lie, and to respect their mates, parents, and elders.
Valentina, one little girl in particular, shares our lessons and stories with her parents. She’s an example for her parents, reminding them not to speak bad words and to behave better. Her parents are encouraged by her behavior.
