N.B.
The following letter and agreement is a starting point for our team to discuss and edit. It
would provide an opportunity and a tool where SCFs would be trained to talk through
each point with the community. Their still is a perception that the community thinks this
is a SurfAid project not THEIR project hence and based on some feedback I’m
suggesting that we offer the chance for dusuns to apply for a scholarship to our academy.
They know what scholarships are as the church and others give them and it clearly means
that the project is for them.
The same applies to the list of what the SAI academy would require from them—this list
is a sample not the end list but it again would require our SCF/CF to work through why
each point is required e.g. why its so important that every house gets a visit from the
volunteers.
This agreement is based on a fundamental change in the model where we no longer have
CFs living in villages but part of a moving team moving through villages after a
significant initial ime socializing the program and building sufficient capacity for the
dusun to choose the right 2-3 representatives to come to training for 1 week periods at
sub district sites such as Katiet every quarter. The teams would then visit their village
every 1-2 months for 2-4 days( I will write a full proposal for this ASAP).
SurfAid has enjoyed working with your community and now invite you to participate in
both an evaluation process so we can learn together how to get better results, and an offer
to your village to continue this project providing we win a grant to do so.
SurfAid will be offering villages a “scholarship to continue and attend the SurfAid
community development academy”. To qualify for the various stages of the scholarship
villages need to demonstrate their real desire to improve the quality and quantity of life in
the village via their own efforts but guided by and with the full assistance and support
from SurfAid in a true partnership.
SurfAid has learnt that this type of project requires real commitment from the people, for
the people. It is not the type of project that is successful if the communities do not
participate fully. The scholarship is for the benefit of the entire community who need to
demonstrate that all houses benefit from the educational processes.
Most of the improvement in the quality of life can be achieved from inside the
community by changing behaviors. This can be challenging and therefore requires the
repeated effort and cooperation of all the various stakeholders of the village to
continually support each other to change habits.
SurfAid propose that the next phase of this project will include two major processes
Therefore SurfAid acknowledges that some villages may wish not to apply for various
reasons and or some may not qualify to receive the benefits of the scholarship at this time
however we do hope you can commit to the required time and disciplines that will ensure
your village moves forward into the future healthier and happier.
From science, and results from other successful and similar projects and if the village
supports the project as outlined in the agreement then the following results can be
expected
