How do you know that your community is exhausted and what should you do? #Communityexhaustion is a topic that has been ignored for long. For organizations that use Community-Led Development (#CLD) approach and #HCD where people involvement is key, a deeper understanding of the community and their elasticity is key to avoid and prevent exhaustion. Here is an amazing article that would help in deeper understanding of the topic. #Communityexhaustion #communityengagement #communitydevelopment #volunteerism #CLD #HCD #hcd2023 Garrett Mason Michael Muiya Raymond Abaifaah CorpsAfrica

What did we love about Kuttan or Manjummel Boys? They volunteered to rescue their friend (Subash), who fell into a cave, even when the trained professionals were doubtful. They may have volunteered even if it wasn't their friend. What happens when you volunteer to help those in need? You are seen as a light from God. Just like how Subash saw Kuttan, when Kuttan entered the cave to save him. Though Manjummel Boys talked more about true friendship, what we saw in it was the boys’ selflessness. We need more films like these! You want to help those in need but need to know how?

While it is easier to notice the overt forms of violence that home-based workers go through, there are more implicit kinds of violence endured by them that continue to go unnoticed. Economic violence is one example. These signs are easy to miss – but it contributes towards financial vulnerability and a loss of control and independence, creating ongoing stress and mental turmoil. We strive to make change by amplifying the voices of these workers, shedding light on these unseen issues, and empowering home-based workers to access the rights they deserve.

I loathe the term "voluntolds" - the disparaging remark for people doing community service to fulfill a court order or school requirement. They re often treated as "lesser" #volunteers. They should NOT be. My latest blog:
