Notes
Diana went to Nawandyo B to meet the community. They were happy to receive Diana. Diana thanked them for protecting themselves from Covid. She told them not to relax, because Covid is still there. Diana told them they should avoid shaking hands, they should put on their masks and always wash their hands before coming in for the lessons. Diana went on to tell them that even the sitting arrangements will be spaced. Everyone embraced this idea and they agreed to follow S.O.Ps. Khamadi the secretary gave Diana the feed back on the community progress during the lockdown. He said that they divided themselves in two groups, one handled the women while the second group handled men. He said that the whole process went on well and they will not stop checking the hygiene of their people. Whatever is taught to them will be put into action. Diana thanked them for their hard work, and told them that she will continue with the lesson of parenting. She told them that during this lockdown, parents need to demonstrate a lot of love to their children. Stay in control of your emotions during this lockdown, hug your children and appreciate them whenever they do something good. Diana thanked them for their time and encouraged them not to loiter a lot in trading centers without masks.
