WOC2day Reaches Korovou Today Wednesday Dec 7

By Joseph Veramu -

Abel Lalagavesi reports that the team slept at Dakuivuna Village. They had an Anti Corruption Information Session where they talked about Integrity and Anti Corruption and reporting mechanism if villagers were witnesses or victims of corruption.. Abel reports that, “After the session, came across this incident where a girl was sent to the shop. Along the way she met a man who told her to give him the items she bought and give him the change to take back. When she reached home and she asked about the item she bought from the shop and the change. She found out that the item was given back but not the change (money). She went up to the man and said "qori gonna na corruption. Practice honesty."

 "The Walk Out Corruption" has been good for us because it shows us that we should walk the talk. When we say we have Integrity, we should show it in our daily lives. Anti corruption work is our mission field and we want to impact the public to practice Integrity, which is next to Godliness," These were the sentiments of Jone Siqila and the MYF members of the TF walking team.

    It is becoming more of a personal evolvement when you realize the access to services is equally given and received

As Mothers ...

Personal sharing of experiences … What does it mean to me as a mother, when I consent to my child attending Afternoon classes, and upon return from school, the class was cancelled for a reason unknown to us.  Where have you been?  What did you do instead?  These are questions that arise.  How does it affect me as a mother, when I only have $2.00 to spare until next pay, and my child insists on giving fifty cents for his mufti levy, which is never accounted for, nor do we know where the cents are going to.  When do I draw the line at CAPS meeting, when there is clearly a live electrical wire just beneath the blackboard, with a notice of DO NOT TOUCH pasted nearby.  How do I react to the nurse who has just given me a lecture saying “we close at 4 pm”, when my baby needs urgent immediate help?  Such is the daily fight that challenges mothers, and as resilient as we are, the refocusing of priorities to what is my Immediate need and foregoing an import...
