In the aftermath of the civil unrest here, 114 educators from 59 early childhood institutions and two primary schools were equipped with skills to help 1,850 boys and girls. The training workshops were run by the Early Childhood Commission, with support from UNICEF, before schools in the affected communities re-opened their doors.“I feel more equipped to face the children and parents on Monday morning,” noted one early childhood teacher, Ms. Davies, after the training. “I have been able to develop a definite plan of action. I have always wanted to be in such a forum.”
Classes were a welcome respite for children who had been dealing with sorrow caused not only by the harrowing days of gun battles between security forces and armed civilians, but also by years of sustained violence.
