1st year apprentices doing Life Skills training |
Shelton Taguma and a
team from Family Impact (Mary Chinamasa, Tafadzwa Nhembere and Wadzano
Mutambirwa) spent 3 days at Ebenezer with the new apprentices doing Life Skills

Both Shelton and
Tafadzwa said that on day one, the response from the new apprentices was slow and
quiet as they were somewhat shy and the course was new to them. As the days
went by, the apprentices became more responsive and there was lots of input. They
really came alive with the topics on love and sex however, the harsh realities
of HIV/AIDS made them pretty sombre.
Apart from the various
topics of discussion, the first years played volleyball and interestingly
enough, the quiet ones in the lessons became very active on the sports field.
Many characters were seen during the sports activities.

Although Shelton and the team were going to read the feedback they received from the new apprentices on how they felt about the 3 days, I’m sure it will be mostly positive stuff. Shelton is quite eager to do follow up sessions.
