In August, CARES Radio brought teachers from various schools in Bo to the program to teach on various subjects in an effort to help them prepare students for the re-opening of schools in September. Mr. Lakoh taught aspects of good governance and participatory democracy, and Mr. Koroma spoke about aspects of business management and financial accounting.
The Mercy Hospital Hour continues to create huge impact in terms of improving health practices. During the month of August, topics included postpartum recovery, facilities available at Mercy Hospital, and the role of the laboratory in the dispensation of medical services at Mercy. The Vice Principal of Mattru School for Nursing spoke recently on the subject of how nurses are trained. The Mercy Hospital Hour also advertises the Mercy Ambulance, which is now more frequently used, due to the awareness raised by this program. CARES has now expanded to Kono. CARE programs recorded in Bo are now being rebroadcast in Kono on Radio New Song Kono on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 3:00 pm. Listeners in Kono love the program, and call in when it's time for the program to air. CARES Program Supervisor Amadu Sandy and Producer Emmanuel Koroma are pictured below. Abu has started attending school at UMC Kulanda Town School. It is right next to Mercy, so very convenient for him, and the walk is helping to strengthen his legs. Although he was in class 5 when he had his accident last year, the CRC staff have decided to put him in class 4 to help him recover the ground he lost by being out of school during his recovery. This will help him get a good foundation for success on the National Primary School Exam.
The Mercy staff was so excited to see Abu in his uniform. He normally attends the daily staff meeting/devotion and gets special prayers each day, and the staff were thrilled to pray especially for his successful return to school. Abu has been anxious to return to school since the accident happened, and he is proud of his new school uniform, and happy to be attending school with his brothers and sisters from the CRC.
