Title : A DAY AT MEAGAMENO ORPHANAGE
Executive summary :
This final report highlights the efforts and results of our initiative to enhance the
quality of life for the orphans at Meagameno orphanage through preparing a meal for
them and having a play date . The aim project was to address the emotional and
social needs of the children . Through team effort, we were able to create a more
supportive and caring environment for the orphans .
Introduction :
The Meagameno orphanage is hoe to 26 individuals ranging from ages 2 to 30 who
have been orphans due to various circumstances . The orphans are provided with basic
necessities such as shelter and food , but the resources might not always be sufficient
for everyone. The importance of community involvement is improving the lives of the
orphans by offering aid with food etc .
Methods :
The project began with the stage of initiation, in which we generated ideas
collectively and decided on a concept that all of us could work with. Everything was
planned. All project goals and purposes were documented in writing. It was the
project manager's responsibility to oversee and ensure that everything was completed
in accordance with the plan. Among the revelations were: Ethical considerations: It is
crucial to conduct business with honesty and respect for the rights and dignity of the
orphanage residents. This includes getting the children's permission before engaging
in any activities, protecting their privacy, and abiding with local laws and customs.
Sustainability: Taking into account the visit's long-term repercussions, which is
crucial. Establishing enduring ties with the orphanage and determining ways for
everyone concerned, finding methods to offer continuing support—whether by
frequent visits, gifts, or other sorts of help—can have long-lasting advantages.
Impact :
The following are the impacts of our project : Personal Development: Taking part in
humanitarian endeavors, such as going to an orphanage, can help our project team
members develop their empathy and personal development. Project management can
benefit from reflection on the event and how it affected people's viewpoints and
values. Resource Management: Managing volunteers, transportation, and any
contributions or supplies that will be sent to the orphanage requires the effective use
of resources like time, money, and materials. Aside from that, we had a few
difficulties. Emotional Sensitivity: The project manager and team members may
experience emotional exhaustion when visiting orphanages. Observing the
circumstances can be upsetting to hear children's stories. Making sure team members
are emotionally ready and have the right supports in place was crucial. Resource
Allocation: Project management may face difficulties due to a lack of resources,
including money, labor, and time. The project's success depended on efficiently
distributing resources and striking a balance between conflicting agendas. One thing
we've learnt about project management is the importance of effective communication.
It was important to think about clearly defining the goals, duties, and expectations of
all parties engaged in the project, including donors, volunteers, and orphanage staff .
Adaptability & Flexibility: Being flexible is critical to effectively manage unforeseen
circumstances, therefore it's important to be ready to adjust to any changes or
obstacles that may arise through to making sure that unanticipated events are handled
well and that everyone has a good time . Follow-up and Ongoing Support: Making
arrangements for assistance to continue after the first meeting. This could involve
long-term collaborations, contributions, or volunteer opportunities to help the
orphanage and its residents.
Conclusion :
On a final note, our project aims to improve the quality of life for the orphans at
Meagameno orphanage, by offering the orphans a meal for the day and having a fun
play date was successful . We were able to ensure the orphans have a memorable day
and inspire positive change in the community . We hope that our project serves as a
model for future initiatives that aim to enhance the well-being of vulnerable children
and promote community involvement for social good.
