Preliminary Visit to Bunkpurugu

This weekend, the BA team paid a preliminary visit to Bunkpurugu in the Bunkpurugu-Yunyoo district of Northern Ghana to meet key stakeholders and set the stage for the assessment of reunited children in the District. The highly successful trip saw the team engage the District Community Development Officer and the CEO of Community Based Care for Orphans and Vulnerable Children.

The team had an understanding of the work of the various stakeholders in the reintegration of the children. The team also had the opportunity to visit the institution that previously housed the over 150 children and to talk to the proprietress. In the following weeks, the team will be visiting each of these children with their families to interact with them and assess their lives back in society.

Profiling visit to Sawla

The Reintegration Team of Braveaurora have in this week been engaged in the assessment and profiling of reunited children from the Sawla Children's Home. This is a major stride in our goal to adequately document and assess the lives of reunified children in Northern Ghana. Under the activity, contacts are made with the children and their caregivers to ascertain their general living conditions and feelings about the reunification. Twenty two children and adolescents are currently assessed by the team with support from Department of Social Welfare officers in the district. The exercise has taken the team to neighboring towns and communities where the children presently reside.
