Report of CFDP After School Session at Kosala

Report of CFDP After-School Session at Kosala school, held on the 26th of January 2011. Provided by CFDP Leader, Nenne, in her own words...

The session started at 4pm because of the school was preparing many activities and competitions geared toward the National Youth Day. CFDP Leadership Present: Dickson, Caroline, Kama and Nenne. We had 30 students; 7 boys and 23 girls. The school football team had a serious match with another school so most of the boys did not make it to the session.

Since the students were not many, we decided to keep them together in one group for activities and discussions. Nenne, Kama and Caroline cultivated the warm-up this time around it was different from other session because the youth were mostly girls they had a lot of interest in football. After spending about 25mins with the warm ups the first discussion was had and the topic was Communication with Parents. The youth responses were very positive and encouraging. The second discussion topic was violence against women. To add a pinch of salt, Miss Nenne sensitized the children about cholera which is very prevalent in Cameroon and most of the victims to this disease are children.

After the discussions, we continued with football drills and towards the end we organized a friendly match among the young and energetic girls, which was wonderful.

We concluded by selecting the youth for the pen pal program took their photos. More so all pictures could not be taken especially those during topic discussion because the phone memory was full that is why a digital camera is inevitable.
