FEEDBACK from The Whole World Woman Association
Hi EISH team,
Thank you and all your team for coming to Salt River on the 13th of June 2012 to conduct the dialogues. It was so nice working with you guys. I learnt a lot, about Ubuntu, about capacity building and service delivery, found new friends, and a lot of ideas were shared which I enjoyed paying attention to. I discovered that almost all the organisations that attended the dialogues were new to me, honestly speaking, I didn’t know they existed before. They provide good services to the public, but not so well known. I must congratulate you all for coming up with that idea, NGOs need not work in isolation. We need to join our hands and work together and we will succeed.
The Whole World Woman Association met with new organizations like Beautiful Gate, Africa Tikkun, Cancer association, just to name a few. We learnt a lot from you and other organizations that were represented in the workshop. From the workshop, we realized that working in collaboration with other organizations, we will be able with the available resources deliver our services effectively in our communities. We need to put our strengths together in order to meet our goals.
I enjoyed listening to people and listening to myself speaking during the dialogues. I heard from different people and everyone had different views about a particular subject, it was an amazing workshop. You allowed everyone to express their views and we were free to talk in the dialogue. We also made commitments that we will need to fulfill.
I liked the way you facilitated the dialogues, I want to be like you, next time please train us on your method of facilitation, The workshop was very exceptional.
I hope to see you again.
Felix.
