INTRODUCTION & BRIEFING ON SI4DEV ACTIVITIES IN 2018

(7) Facilitated drug abuse awareness at the Port Harcourt Juvenile jail.
(8) Currently supporting the ongoing project implementation of the Enhanced digital literacy for orphanage school.
SCHEDULED EVENT CREATING AWARENESS ON WORLD CANCER DAY
Our location group has decided to partner with Havana Health to mark the world cancer day by engaging in planned activities that sought to promote awareness and assist survivors to overcome trauma. Mr. Austin and Francis both volunteered to attend the event.
PLANS FOR OUR LOCATION GROUP VOTING GANG
Francis has volunteered to produce the crested T-shirts that would be used for the campaign and plans to liaise with the program director.
UPDATE ON OUR PILOT PROJECT
Francis has informed the house that the first phased of the project has been funded by si4dev but due to the delay from the project owners who promised to source for the furniture within their community, it is yet to be closed out. He assured the house the hence the furniture is ready, and other items on the budget has been acquired, we would be visiting the school this week for the presentation.
MATTERS ARISING
