So CHE TOT3 for Aruu has come and gone - and it was wonderful. Already we're receiving updates from the field about CHE committees being selected and starting to be trained. We're encouraged to see the Aruu teams hitting the ground running.
Flashback to CHE TOT3...
This is James Peter. He is from the farthest part of one of our farthest areas. We estimated his home placed is between 60-80 km away, depending on the shortcuts available. He sports a pair sandals - locally made in Acholiland with rubber from some used car tires. And in both CHE TOT2 and TOT3, James Peter was the first CHE Trainer to report for training...and was the only CHE Trainer to arrive...
...ON FOOT.
CHE TOT3 is the time when the CHE Trainers move from the participant chairs and start to lead lessons of their own. It's also the time when all the detailed mechanics of CHE become clear, and the Trainers make their plans for how they will implement what they've learned in the community.
