Diana went to Nawandyo B to teach about love in the family. The journey was good although it had rained heavily, making the roads slippery. But by God’s grace we reached. Diana found some of the community members waiting for the lesson. The Chairman mr. Kiige welcomed us. Diana took the community through a recap which was good and bad parenting, and how to fix it. It was surprising how the members remembered every lesson that was taught to them. Diana told them to clap for themselves.
Diana introduced the lesson of the day which was love in the family. She taught that love is a unison that brings families together. Parents who show love to their children end up reaping love from their families. Diana told the community that when their children grow up, they might end up treating them the way they were treated while young. Therefore treat the children with love and respect and you will also reap that from the children. Diana also taught that it is good to teach children to help people who are in need, this is also a way of showing love to people surrounding them, like we see in the story of the Good Samaritan that is Luke. 5:37-43.
Khamadi the secretary was extremely happy and he ended up bringing asong of thank you to Kibo and community empowerment program. The community joined in as they clapped their hands. This was really beautiful to see the communal love that binds people together.
Diana thanked them for their cooperation and encouraged them to stay in love in their families and outside their families. She also told them not to forget that Covid is real and they should continue observing S.O.Ps.
