Goodbye Danielle, Corine, Riette and Esther!!!

Better known as the Dutch girls! These four all came to us from the same college in Holland. They were doing their last project before graduating. Danielle and Corine wrote a manual for our Pre- and Post- Abortion Counseling program. So they worked closely with Rosa, our Options Care Center program manager. They had to also visit the Karl Bremer Hospital, where the counseling takes place to do their research. But mostly they were in the office a lot, doing research and writing the manual. It was a lot of work, but they did a great job! Its so nice to have these manuals for our volunteers that come, so they have all the information they need at their fingertips! Riette and Esther were also doing their final project, only they did theirs at the SOS Children's Village where we do a life skills program, that frankly is quite a struggle for the volunteers. So Riette and Esther researched the village, the kids, the volunteers, etc and put together a training program that can be used when new vols come to give them the understanding and skills they need to effectively lead the life skills program at SOS. Again this was a very daunting task (and they are still working on it back in Holland) but I've read some of it and it's really spot on!! Good stuff that will be a huge asset to the program at SOS!! Heres a pic of all of them with Rolf and his wife Lizzie and one other vol, Debby.....they will all be missed!!!
