Recruitment of Orphans
Recruitment of the orphans has opened even more. There
are those amongst us that still take HIV/Aids and death
as a taboo. They do not want to come forward and talk
about it. To some extent, it is traumatizing especially
where we have "closed the door" this means that the
whole family has been wiped out and the door is
officially closed. Where the door is half opened, we
have grandmother taking care, in most cases, she is old
and unhealthy, thus depending on well wishers for any
support.
At this point you find children are malnourished, sick,
hungry and not attending schools though of age. We have
recruited 300 young girls from my village whom we train
in dressmaking and design.
These are girls that their parents are unable to take to
college and if nothing is done they will end up being
cheated by old men with as little as half a dollar for
sex and because they are frustrated out of high school
and no college they end up opening for the men and by
bad luck either they become pregnant or sometimes end up
having AIDS and this was the main reason of starting the
dressmaking and design project. |
