Notes
Purpose of the visit in Bulyowa village, Manuela went to this village to do corrections on the test that was done previously and to teach about the importance of good relationships among others. Manuela started her lesson with a ward of prayers led by Mary,then later she gave back the test paper to the participants, she appreciated them for the hard work,after that she did the corrections on some specific numbers which were answered wrongly, Manuela told them that next time they should not rush to answer before understanding the questions properly because this has made more participants to contradict the questions. Then she asked them, how do they feel about their results? Some said good , others said they need to work harder next time so that they can score 100%. After doing the corrections, Manuela asked the participants that what is Relationships Skills? They responded love, good communication liking oneself and another etc, after brain storming, Manuela explained to the participants that Relationship skills refers to the ability to establish and maintain healthy and positive relationships with diverse individuals and groups in the community. After that explanation, Manuela asked again the participants that what is good relationships? One of the participants said that being in good terms with one another, Manuela also added that good relationships refers to the ability of being in good harmony, love and peace with one another. Manuela also explained to the participants that when you Communicate openly and honestly, good communication is a key part of good relationships because people know what what they want. After that explanation, Manuela asked the participants questions about the importance of good relationships in the community, they responded that, it promote peace among individuals, it promote love, development in the community, Manuela appreciated them for being participative in answering the questions posed to them, Manuela explained to the participants that if they have good relationships even their children will continue with that spirit in their old age, she encouraged them to love one another so that they can live in harmony peace and unity, she also told them that with good relationships , they will always work together and develop their community etc. After that explanation, some participants opened up telling Manuela some stories about what bad relationships can bring in the community basing on what they see happening in their village, actually they appreciated Manuela for that lesson and told her that today’s lesson is going cause change among fathers and mothers who mistreat their step children. Some of the participants gave testimony about advantages of good relationships among others, basing on what they have experienced in their lives, one woman called Nagombi, said that when she lost her child, she did not have money, but she was helped by the community members to perform the burial ceremony successfully simply because of good relationships she had with fellow community members in her former village before she came to Bulyowa village. Finally, Manuela appreciated them for coming in good numbers, she told them to inform the rest of the participants who were unable to make it for this lesson and share with them what they learnt so the massages can reach everyone.
