FOCUS ON SHENDAM COMMUNITY

9/23/2014

This blog is focused on the Shendam SELL Community. Shendam is a Local Government in Southern area of Plateau State, Nigeria. Young people from all other Local Governments in the South of Plateau State were enrolled for the SELL training under the Shendam Community and as a result all are called Shendam Community Team. But then, the teams in the various Local Governments are the sub teams of Shendam for the purpose of the SELL programme.  The trainees and mentors of the SELL Programme from Shendam are tasked to deliver workshops within their confines.  This year, they were able to deliver two SELL workshops. 

  • The first workshop was a step down after their training in March this year. It was at the Nigerian Prison Service, Shendam division on the 24th June, 2014. The initial plan was to run the programme for the Clients (Prison inmates), but in a bit to protect their integrity, the prison authorities said the workshop should be done with the staff instead. In the cause of the work, some of the Clients joined in, but photos were not taken.  The workshop which was on the Self Awareness unit of SELL, recorded 9 females and 29 males. Dajan a mentor of SELL from that area who was at the workshop said the session on reclaiming Self – Worth and in-depth exploration of one’s self was imperative to the participants. The authorities expressed their appreciation to the team and said they will work with them to ensure that SELL becomes a State programme as far as the Prison organization is concerned.



  • The SELL Programme with the youths of Shishiri area of Langtang was next, they had the workshop on 27th June, 2014. Langtang is equally a big town as Shendam and there are SELL trainees there as well, the team anchored the Self Awareness unit of SELL with a group of youths from that area. 29 young people were in attendance, 13 of whom were females.



It feels good to announce to you that the Shendam trainees  recently took their third and fourth training combined. Of the six trainings they are expected to take to complete the circle of training in the units of the programme, the have done four and are left with two trainings which will hopefully be completed next year. The training took place on the 10th to 15th September 2014 and 15 people took part in it. The two units that were explored were Peace Building and the Justice units of the SELL Programme. During the training, they did a community planning and came up with strategies on how to better reach the young people of their communities. The SELL Resource Team wishes the Shendam community team all the best as they execute those plans. On our part, we shall bring to you our reader more updates of the SELL Programme, so stay with it.

Hello friends, I will like to start by wishing you a happy new month, it is also the first month of the ember months, I pray with you for grace and blessing to experience the last ember (December) month for this year.

Are you our friend on facebook? If yes, then you may have read that the SELL Hausa Manual for facilitators have been produced and  if no, please send us a friends request and we will be right there waiting to accept your request. Before the production of this Manual, two sets of SELL facilitators’ Manual were produced; the first was in 2009 and the second was 2013, both of which are in English, the latter being the revise edition of the former. The need to produce the SELL Manual in Hausa came when workshops were being delivered in the communities. The facilitators found out that in the North East where we work majorly, some of our target audience understand the Hausa lingua franca more than they understand English. To pass the SELL message effectively the Hausa Manual had to be produce to help facilitators in delivering the workshops. In the nearest future, the SELL Foundation will conduct a Hausa training of facilitator who will in turn deliver the workshop to youth in their communities.

Congratulations to the SELL Facilitators in Jalingo for opening the curtain for the SELL fourth training in the North East of Nigeria. The training in Jalingo Taraba State Nigeria begun on Wednesday 20th and ended on Sunday 24th August 2014. It was facilitated by Moses Alokpa of the SELL Resource team with Victor Kamai and Stanley David both SELL Mentors and Facilitators from Jalingo. They explored the Community Building unit of SELL. The number of trainees were fourteen; four of whom were ladies. A challenge which was expressed by the SELL Team in Jalingo was that, after taking the training, doing the step-down workshops is a challenge. This is because of the recurrent insecurity experienced in some parts of Taraba sate and the North -East of Nigeria, at large.
