The month of July to September being in the rainy season, was somewhat difficult for the counselors to do regular visitation but still have to carryout the visitation task due to the importance attached to this kind of work. Most of the victims families did relayed on the visitation from the counselors to find comfort. They have been used to these visitations from the counselors.
The counselors used to do visitation 5 days in a week from Monday to Friday but WPW cut the days to 2 days a week, Wednesday and Friday due to lack of adequate funding. These counselors and social workers have work voluntarily for the past months now and are still carrying out their duty with diligence unwavering due to the encouragement given by WPWHDO for them to continue helping the victims’ family.
Many of the victims’ families are relaxed and getting confident to meet life’s challenge only some of the families and orphans are really in need of assistance like; school fees, clothing, and uniforms for school and lunch at school. Some of the kids don’t have the opportunity to attend at the only government public school so they have to enroll in private schools in order to continue their education. The West Point Women for Health and Development Organization is making sure the orphans get help and small support from other organizations taking the approach of helping orphans but it is on a minimal scale not all of the orphans are given the needed support but we find their caretakers keep coming back to us with complaint of less support for these children.
Our ardent hope is that WPW be able to get the support and help from our donors on Globalgiving even though we may not be able to post our project reports on Globalgiving websites as the others due to technical inability on our part but we find ourselves really doing the work in the community which is visible that when you would visit West Point-Liberia and do fact finding survey, you’ll find out that the women organization (WPWHDO) is really working , the office of the commissioner of the township of West Point can attest to it. We’re here to help and are committed to it, only that we need all of the support that is required to help those that are really in need of the help we can give.
Our gratitude to all of our donors on Globalgiving who are helping us help humanity. THANKS A MILLION!!!
