A magical moment happened when we were on our way to one of the schools for a session. When signing up at the gate, there was a woman seated with the guard. She boldly asked,’are you the team that teaches students about violence?’. We were all surprised and wondered how she knew about us and so I went ahead and said yes we are, hoping we had not gotten into any kind of trouble.
She stood up, walked towards us and shook our hands and said she is aware of the work that we are doing in the classroom. Her daughter who is part of our Violence Prevention Club usually shares with her what we’ve been teaching them especially on the importance of consent and being socially aware of our environment so as to prevent violence. She congratulated us and encouraged us to keep doing what we do in those classrooms because we are helping the parents raise respectful and responsible men and women.
We were filled with joy and gratitude knowing that our work, through your generous giving was actually meeting its purpose of not only impacting the students but also their parents and the community at large.
