One teacher told us, “Thank you for facilitating such helpful discussions about the problems that our students face and how we can work together to find solutions. Meeting with fellow teachers to discuss these things was so empowering.” This was in response to our recent 2-day Teacher Training Workshops, which were organized and led by the TerraKids team for teachers from 46 different schools.
Over 110 teachers and village leaders joined together for the two-day trainings. It was a rare opportunity for teachers to come together outside of their school setting with other teachers and administrators from their region.
Topics included best practices for teaching students about serious topics like:
- Child Abuse – How to identify it and what to do about it
- Drug Abuse – Encouraging kids to say ‘No’
- Safe Touch – Enforcing it in the classroom and beyond
- Keeping kids safe in their communities – what teachers/parents can do
We are thankful for this open door to make a difference in the lives of teachers and students in our community, and we want to ask for your ongoing support to make sure programs like these can continue. Please visit the TerraClear Donation Page for more information about how you can support clean drinking water in classrooms, schoolroom lessons, and empowering workshops like this one for teachers and administrators.
