Tim and Candy from GSK shifted this week from being part of the crèche/shack safety team to the assigned objective of focus on the health and safety of the staff and stakeholders of The Thoughtful Path. First, we spent time observing and listening to understand key issues and challenges. Next, we met with Paul Brooks, Director of The Thoughtful Path, and Betty Nkoana, Project Manager, to discuss feedback about our key observations. We summarised recommendations for impacting the health of the TTP team and Tim delivered a coaching session to increase awareness of sustainable good health and resilience practices. Alyson Krucher, GSK Pulse Volunteer, held a leadership training workshop attended by Leadership Academy candidates, House of Young Ambassadors and other TTP stakeholders. We prepared a presentation and delivered this as part of the leadership training agenda. We asked the leaders to be aware of their health practices as they influence the community. We’ll be working tomorrow with a large crèche on fire drill training. Barbara and Mary went to The Victim & Empowerment Center this morning, which is housed in the Police Office. This is a community resource for children and adults who have suffered abuse. Barbara and Mary shared immediate feedback and observations with the staff and reinforced the connection with the Children’s Embassy, which will function as a safe environment where children can come for support for any issues. We all came back from the day's activities to a big storm of lightning and rain which took out the power (and internet access for Thurs night and Friday morning), so we ended the day with a candlelight dinner with the great team of people who run the Sterkfontein Heritage Lodge where we are staying.
