Notes
Purpose of the visit, Manuela went to Bulyowa village to test the participants on the previous lessons learnt under Decisions Making and introduce Communication Skills. This topic is aimed at educating the participants to know the value of good communication skills in the community and personal. Manuela reached the village found participants already seated and waiting for her, she greeted them and requested for someone to pray, after that she started her class by asking the participants that if they are ready for the test, they said yes, then she started asking them questions and they really struggled at the beginning to answer, but later they all managed to participate , they managed to share their ideas about the previous lessons. After the oral test, Manuela introduced the new topic and also taught the first lesson, she taught about, what is Communication, different means of communication and the importance of communication in life, participants were able to participate and shared so many ideas concerning communication skills. Manuela asked the participants that what are the importance of Communication Skills, they mentioned answers like communication helps them to have mutual understanding in their marriage, helps them to get feedback, to have peace , love and among others. During this lesson, one of the participants by the names Margaret, said that in their village even children have bad communication behavior as their parents, she went on and said that some marriages have failed because of poor communication behavior even in the community more especially the women gossiping has also caused a very big problem in the society, so she was happy with the new Topic and she requested the fellow participants to take the lessons seriously and practice it so that they can have good communication behavior in their families and community. This woman said that both men and women in that community have vulgar wards and even their children are learning from them which is not good. Challenges, after teaching lessons, one of the girl and her mother requested to have a ward with Manuela, they came to Manuela and told her that, they are not fine, that her father is threatening to harm her and the mother, Manuela asked her why, she told Manuela that, since she taught about Rape and Defilement, his father thinks that they told Manuela to teach that lesson, but that is not true, his father is feeling guilty since he was a victim of rape five years ago, when the father learnt that they learnt about Rape, this man thinks that his wife and the daughter might have reported him to Manuela and that is why he thinks that is why I thought about Rape and Defilement to immolation him, But that is not true, for me I have my lesson and I am following the curriculum Manuela told the chairman to go and explain to him that way. The chairman said he will go there with his executive committee and talk to him, Manuela told chairman to call her and know how it went on.
