Week Three
For the past two weeks of my internship I haven’t felt that
I’m currently doing my practicum due to the Holy Week vacation and I’m still
adjusting to the work environment in the office.
Last April 22, Ara, Mallory and I started to work on the
different House/Senate bills and Republic Acts focused on children in these
areas: Education, Health, Nutrition, Disaster Risk Reduction-Climate Change
Adaptation (DRR-CCA), Peace Building, Economic Development and Child Protection.
On the following day, together with my co-interns in the
Advocacy Department, we followed up the invitations for the event that is
spearheaded by the Child Health Now (CHN) department on May 7, 2014.
The highlight of this week is that we had a meeting with
the Communication interns. We were tasked to simplify the main tool that the
organization will be using in the Children's
Learning Event this May 2014 and make the material to
be more child friendly for documentation and
monitoring whether our government is fulfilling its duty towards a certain thematic
cluster such as Special Protection – Child Labor, Special
Protection – Child In Conflict with the Law and many more.
The main objectives of
this event are:
1.
Strengthen children
relationship with God, family and community.
2.
To understand the
process on CRC monitoring and be able to contribute in the report.
3.
Sharing of success
stories/ good practices on child participation (Education, SNC, ECAP,
Econ/CoMsCA, Health, Advocacy, CFDRR, Protection, Comms and etc.)
4. To better understand
the true essence of child participation, child focused disaster risk reduction,
environmental issues and promotion of children’s rights.
5. Strengthen
relationship and camaraderie among other child representatives
