During the course of the week, this is what happened:
- Started to work with clinic, implementing one project which assessing children while mothers are waiting into the ques.
- Contacting the ward councilor, and we have manged to see him, and he was happy to see the projects we are running, he will be able to offer some assistance to some projects.
- New project has been discovered; Learners with special need at the primary school, this projects will be starting to run from next week.
Starting to work with the clinic; the clinic staff started to see the important of us being involved with them and they have asked us to join some of the campaigns, and we have started to form relationship with them. By the time going they will know more about our profession, the problem is that there is will be no person to refer to during our fieldwork block, because there is no OT within the area who works with the clinic.
Reaching the councilor, the previous group was not able to get to the councilor, us we manged I had to call him most of the time and I asked him to choose a different place to meet us, not in his office or community. I also told him why I want to meet him and he was able to meet with us. Currently we have a second meeting booked with him for next week.
With all three of the projects, I was the leader for the projects during the course of the week, If I did not take the roles of contacting the councilor, he would have not been reached again. Within the group I am a valuable member, with unique skill, and I'm able to take the lead.
When working, I like to work alone, but within the community you need to work with other people in order to see their views about what you want to do.
