Our volunteer Doreen has been active in Gobabis for 2 months and has already experienced many things in the steps project. One of the most extraordinary activities is probably the „beauty contest“.
Doreen says: „The search was on for ‚Miss Summer‘ and ‚Miss Light 2014‘. It was a huge undertaking: the hall was festively decorated, there was a lot of practice and of course the children looked great. Between the rounds of ‚casual wear‘, ’summer wear‘ and ‚evening dress‘, the boys danced. It was a real celebration and the audience was thrilled!“
In addition to such events, Doreen is also involved in the day-to-day steps activities. „What I am most involved in are the steps homes. Together with Maureen and Mr Bartmann, we visit the families and have many conversations. The interpersonal relationship is the most important thing in this work and Maureen and Mr Bartmann are a great team in exactly that respect. Last week we invited all the families to a joint morning. We sang, prayed, had breakfast and played together. We had endless fun together and even created some works of art. For next month we are planning a meeting just with the parents, to have a kind of parents“ evening where the parents can exchange ideas with one another. And with the children we want to celebrate Christmas a little bit (after that there are long holidays here). Christmas spirit is also spreading in the project. We sing Christmas carols together and make the first Christmas decorations. At the moment, mainly hearts for the windows and Christmas cards."
With the many different activities, play and learning never fall by the wayside, of course… many thanks to Doreen for her first two active months in Gobabis. We are just as excited as Doreen to see how things will continue: „There is still so much to tell about the project, even though I still have a long time ahead of me. I’m looking forward to it!“

In addition to such events Doreen engaged in everyday steps happenings. „Most of all I am concerned with the steps homes. Along with Maureen and Mr. Bartmann we visit the families and have many calls. The interpersonal relationship is the most important at work and therein are Maureen and Mr. Bartmann a great team. Last week, we invited all families to a common morning. We sang together, prayed, ate breakfast and played. We had a lot of fun together indefinitely and there are even some works of art emerged. For the next month, we are planning a meeting with parents to spend a sort of parent-teacher meeting at which the parents can exchange. And with the children we want to celebrate Christmas a little bit (after are here long holidays). Also in the project comes to Christmas spirit. together we sing carols and crafts, the first Christmas. Currently especially hearts for the windows and Christmas cards. „
