A community helping itself

This week’s online meeting between the UK and Nigeria teams marked another step forward because it drew upon additional technology. As well as our usual Skyped/typed conversation we used sms/phone messages to check the situation at FF in the light of John’s uncharacteristic absence. The fact John had not sent us an explanatory email as is his custom had caused us to speculate as to whether there was a problem. However, the team in the UK (based in London and Leeds) were able to contact Comfort at Fantsuam (rural Nigeria) and she reassured us that all was OK, aside from...

Kafanchan Violence: The legacy

Nearly four months after Kafanchan’s post-election violence, we were sad to learn from John Dada that staffing at Fantsuam is still suffering the effects. Chollom, the network administrator who was displaced during the troubles, has now understandably relocated to Jos. Likewise Yakubu, a recent arrival, has also returned to Jos at the insistence of his worried family. Before the troubles Kafanchan was widely perceived to be safer than Jos, so the UK team were disturbed to learn from John that this is no longer true. He said: “I think this is the often unseen and untold price that organisations and...

Workshops for people who are facing redundancy

I'm planning to run some workshops for people who are facing redundancy. The content is based on relevant knowledge I have gained over the past ten years in theory and in practice through my online work. It is also firmly based on my own richly chequered personal history in the world of work - and my experience as a qualified teacher and as a trainer. Last week I had a meeting about the workshops with Steve Mullins and Brian DavisSteve is extending the scope of what I plan to deliver in these workshops, and Brian is working on illustrations for...
