AIDS Holistics is proud to be giving support to a high school in Lae in preparation for the Flexible and Open Distance (FODE) written expression exams for grades 9, 10 and 11.
We are working to a program based on the Family Positive Living message and the syllabus of the Personal Development program in schools. Our AIDS Holistics message is precisely the correct family message.
The program focuses on (1) family (2) rights of family members (3) responsibilities of family members (4) domestic violence (5) family planning (6) maternal and child mortality (7) happy marriage (8) gender equality (9) beer, home brew and marijuana (10) marrying more than one wife (11) healthy living (12) child abuse and (13) choosing a husband or wife.
In the media Weekend Courier 8 July, there was a report on family planning which we have taken to give to the students written by Ancilla Wrakuale:
The health of our mothers and women folk is very important. A healthy mother means a healthy child, family, community and society.
Mothers go through a lot in pregnancy and they need at least 2-3 years in between each birth to fully recover.
Family planning is vital in helping a family plan and space their family. It provides men and women the choices of when and how many children to have.
Family planning is also important in helping the nation achieve a sustainable population growth.This means better planning and equal distribution of essential services and resources resulting in a happy and healthy society.
Raising a family is very expensive given the high prices of goods and services. Bringing a child into the world means many different responsibilities and enables a child to go to school, have a job, and look after him or herself.
A planned family means a happy and healthy society. When a family has too many children, parents can not afford to meet all necessities resulting in poverty and poor health.
Comment: A woman who has too many babies too soon will suffer from Kwashiorkor. It is an African word that means that " the child in the womb is putting an evil eye on the child at the breast". The mother will not have enough milk to feed more than one child.
Maternal and infant mortality comes out of the malnutrition caused by too many small babies and poverty of family.
The focus of this FODE course is on RIGHTS and RESPONSIBILITIES of husbands and wives. Child bearing is a key part of this.
Rights and Responsibilities is the focus of the schools Personal Development courses and the Positive Living program.
