"No gas for the childrne's homes....cannot cook food inside and so out came this tiny one pot cooker that was made of clay and with a little space to put charcoal in it...and we had...chicken necks!!! Yum! I love this stuff....along with the flavour of breadfruit and dumplings! mmmmmmmmmmmm
I spoke with Lorne earlierr....and got to talking about structural factors that underly and challenge the work of the home....from low functioning literacy to the lack of clarity in policies and to the difficulty of operating a business - non-profit on donations with only about 50,000 ECD awarded from the government for the operation of the homes....this does not cover salary of the staff or food....the government's practice is mainly focused on economic development with little resources available for social programs and for children in need of care.
Still considering some of the things that I've observed and learned about...it's easy to see how the lack of structure makes lines blurred....where I recently learned about a child's situation...and where my own ethical responsibilities and professional responsiblities required my discussing concerns with my supervisor.
I've been fortunate enough to have a wonderful supervisor who is not only willing to hear my ideas and concers, but also willing to work out possible potential solutions. This is refreshing in the work environment because this feels like a win-win"
