Maintenance of this group to have a network in their respective
states is a priority to keep the hope and goals of SSHIELD alive, and that will
allow us to collectively and effectively practice the huge experience and
knowledge we have gain here. So upon my return to South Sudan, I will team
up with some members among this group to initiate and
build a “community resource center” where various activities will be
carried out to enhance, support and empower girls and women. These activities
will include adult education programs, recreational activities, hand and
machine knitting training, awareness programs on gender related
issues. This was prior to the best lesson I have learn from “leadership” class about the ‘vital voices’ of women
across Africa who have actually changed millions lives of many women through
such activities. Another goal is to effectively participate in ‘curriculum development processes’ with the ministry of
education in designing the syllabus or unified curriculum as a very effective
way of keeping solidarity among the diverse community. That was as well prior
to the lesson I have learned with Dr. Keith about ‘history of
curriculum development’ in different countries based on good merits in
history and how it’s helpful to keep people as one in the country. Generally, I
have learned more of hard work and tolerance.
