Family Planning Support Group

 

The first and last Monday of the month family planning support group gathers around Nata clinic to discuss issues facing their community. This particular Monday the group was addressing family planning methods. The support group is looking into educating others in their village by doing condom demonstrations, adherence to medications, and HIV testing. During their outreach, the support group gives the community general information facing health issues in their village. This month most of the the information given to the community is regarding Malaria season. Most people will visit the clinic to collect their mosquito nets and information regarding Malaria symptoms.  

Support Groups in the Community

 

 

Social and Community Development Department has put together a six week long work shop on how to make Shoes, Sandals, and Wallets from leather and tire rubber. Social and Community Development has invited the community to attend the work shop and learn a new skill. After the work shop many of the participants put their new skills at work. Another classic example of sustainable development in Natavillage.

After many speeches by the Kgosi and other influetial members of the community the seniors citizens were treated to an awesome big lunch provided by the Post Office Staff. The community hopes this special event is the beginning of a long lasting appreciation for all the senior citizens living in Natavillage to be recognized.
