Just Do it

DO YOU WANT TO HELP Families for Children as they strive to give hope to the hopeless in everything they do? This goal is reached by the multiple projects/activities held at FFC (Festus, Families for Children Interview, February 2, 2012). These projects include all the methods they use to help the children. Methods used within the projects include: rehabilitation activities, school, educations, skill promotion etc. In everything they do, there methods always promote the rehabilitation of each unique child. 

Some of the activities/projects going on at FFC include: Paper Making projects, Waste Silk Weaving, Elizabeth’s Co-op, and the FFC Goat Project (Families For Children, 2012). The paper making projects recycle paper and reuse them to make envelops, papers, and cards. The Waste Silk Weaving project recycles used silk to be spun into yarn, while Elizabeth’s Co-op is a program that allows women to earn an extra income by creating products out of the used silk to sell. The goat project allows for the orphanage not to depend on anyone for milk, because they can supply their own (Families For Children, 2012). These project’s methods make the child/woman feel less unwanted by society because the programs give them skills to offer the world; therefore, giving them hope (Festus, Families for Children Interview, February 2, 2012). 

Elizabeth's Co op

Currently, the organization is working and planning on their biggest training project yet. They are doing this in order to further increase their methods of project-based social work. They are currently constructing a building that will offer new methods of rehabilitation. They will be opening a bakery so the special care children, who are able, can help and learn how to bake. They are also working on an eco-friendly program. With this program, the children will be able to collect banana leaves, and recycle them so they can be turned into clothing. They have also started a mushroom cultivation project where the kids can collect mushrooms and sell them (Festus, Families for Children Interview, February 23, 2012).
