I love having the opportunity to teach my project’s social workers. I love being able to build their professional capacity and change the way they work with people in our community. It’s simply exciting to me. Yesterday I had the opportunity to teach again, this time we focused on review of past sessions, empowerment, strengths and developing resiliency in children. I’m not sure if you are familiar with the word empowerment, but this word encompasses what it is all about: giving power, confidence and strength to people. I love the idea of it and it is exciting to be apart of the empowering process for the social workers and indirectly for the community. The social workers were great- participating, doing little dramas and of course joking as much as possible-but in the end I believe that they found the training helpful for their work and even their personal lives.
