Busega Scotland welcomed experienced social workers, Maura, Mark, Anne, and Andy to Tanzania in June. To experience the wonderful country and as a working visit.

A highlight was the training carried out for staff at Mayega Children’s Centre. It blended child care knowledge and experience from two continents and working cultures. There was much sharing and mutual learning plus fun and laughter. Language is no barrier when there is a common cause!

A diverse range of topics was covered including team working, models of care and self-evaluation. John and Christine had previously offered refresher training on safeguarding and responding to risk.

It is no exaggeration to say that our visitors were mightily impressed by what they saw at Mayega. The understanding of staff towards the needs of the children, the positive interactions, and the contentment of the children, being highlights.

There will be more about the visit to the Centre in the next edition of our newsletter, Nyumba Moja.
