Lesson Taught
Anger Lesson 1: What is anger? 
Notes
Ida went to Naibowa and taught about "Anger Management " She asked the community what is Anger? Margaret said that it's a spirit that makes you do something bad, Muwada said that it's a temper but had to explain.Namulinda said that anger is anger. Ida assured them that by the end of the Anger lessons they will be able to tell what Anger is. When managing Anger, we have to know the four Gs. 1.... Genes This is our nature, black, short, tall, fat,small short tempered etc.God made us different and we have to respect each other. Since we are different each one does things differently. Do not expect every one to do as you do. 2.....Groups. These are communities we find our selves in. E.g. Mother, Father, Church School etc.Mother and Father both have different backgrounds and genes, at school we get many different people who too have their backgrounds. Here we have to again accept each one and learn them. Sometimes people act that way because of the family they came from. 3....Guidelines. These are very important when managing Anger. All the small groups we talked about have guidelines to prevent any one from causing danger, the guidelines show and teach good morals such that we live in harmony. Any entity without guidelines will not succeed but fail.When you know where Anger comes from then you will know how to manage it. 4....Goals. Anyone without a goal is already a failure, you won't know where you came from, where you are and where you are going. It's very important to have goals, e.g. In marriage the goal is to live together until death separates us. In school is to finish and be graduated,
