Despite some hiccups and bumps, work on Project LifeStart is carrying on nicely. We've readjusted some of our plans and the project timeline so that we can keep on carrying on. A big part of these last months has been to roll with the punches, improvise, and adjust. And so, we have a long road ahead, but we are moving along it!
Our Life Skills Team has finished the first rough draft of the curriculum! We have entered into a rigorous round of revisions, which will produce our second draft!
Our Foster Care Team has created successfully produced a working copy of the protocols! We've had some Ukrainian volunteers review the protocols and provide feedback and ensure the protocols are suitable for Ukraine. We are currently working on all the many supplementary documents necessary for a functioning and accountable foster care pilot!
Having developed rough drafts here in Canada, we are starting to hand materials over to World Hope Ukraine for review, input, and revisions. This will be an ongoing process to ensure the pilots are culturally appropriate and effective!
World Hope Ukraine will has also started the search for the Ukrainian staff needed for the pilots. They are currently looking to hire 2 life skills teachers and a foster care coordinator.
Most excitingly, we are beginning to plan the training trips! This is that one fine moment when the Canadian and Ukrainian teams come together and get these pilots up and running! So far, the trips are planned for late June. More information to follow!
