MAKING HISTORY HAPPEN TO OUR ORPHANS AT GWARA




The Rural People made history happen to the children in Gwara in Khana Local Government Rivers State, Nigeria.  These children are orphans as a result of communal crises, epidemics and other reasons that may have been the cause of loosing their parents.  We kept searching for them from one community to another until we realized that they were so much for our budget to carry. 
Finally, we had to make due with these few because we are sowing their school uniforms, paying fees, buying books and taking care of all the demands that will come from putting them in our scholarship.
These are just the first phase of the project as many other orphans cried their eyes out because they were not selected and given the privilege.  We therefore call on good-willed persons and organizations to associate with us in the project.

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...
