CHRISTAIN (OUR ORPHAN) LEARNS A TRADE

This is Christain and his boss.  History was made on the 6th of June 2015 as the team of Splendour Vintage Heights Foundation (also known as The Rural People) did the official signing of the agreement between them and the management of this welding company on the behalf of  Christain Deezua (an orphan from Sii community in Bara, Gwara) in Bori, Rivers State. Beside the signing and paying the fee for the agreement, the rural people also provided Christain with Safety Helmet, hand gloves, safety glasses and canvass shoe.  That particular date was intentionally chosen as it coincided with the birthday date of our live-matron Mrs. Emah Ekpo.
One of our partners Fr. Peter Isidore prayed for Christain and his boss before handing over the money for his training. On behalf of our donors, partners and everyone at the rural people, we wish Christain success in this career and we also call for more people to get involved in what we are doing at the rural people so that you can help another orphan learn a trade.

Although this industry has the potential of reducing poverty through income and employment generation, the use of primitive methods of mining constantly contributes its toll to the degradation of our environment. http://www.ajol.info/index.php/jorind/article/view/42333 Regrettably, while the government spends lots of money on importing these precious stones and mineral deposits, lots of these rural dwellers can be trained and equipped in harnessing this profession as they have chosen it ...

THE NEED FOR THEMATIC INVESTIGATION/RESEARCH IN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

THE NEED FOR THEMATIC INVESTIGATION/RESEARCH IN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES The need for research cannot be overemphasized in the organization of community development activities.    A lot of persons have depended on common sense in selecting what they consider as the most common need of the rural dwellers and have ignorantly embarked on such activities.   Thematic investigation is always one of the first activities embarked upon before and after a community development proposal has been approved.   Again, thematic investigation also   means ‘searching for facts; finding answers to questions;   identifying an existing problem and   getting closest solutions to these identified problem’ amongst others. Again, thematic investigation gives the rural dwellers the opportunity to explain in their own words how they feel, what they think and how they make sense of the world they live in.     The following are some of the reas...
