RIPE Rules!

RIPE - House Rules!

I walked in at 7:45 am and saw the office abuzz with activity. The production room was being cleaned to accommodate 50 chairs and a make shift stage area was set up. The learners at Messy Bessy follow CLAY [CLean As You go] model and in a few mins the entire area was spruced up. The occasion was the quarterly family day celebration where the parents of the young adults are invited and the learners are awarded for their performance. It was a mix of award ceremony along with a parent teacher meeting to discuss and give feedback to the family members of the learners. Although most of the session was conducted in Tagalong, the pride in the eyes of the parents to see their children succeed was easily communicated. One of the learners brought her 1 year old daughter and it was heart warming to see her working so hard so as to ensure a more secure future for her daughter.
Award ceremony was followed by a special song rendering by the award winners and a packed snack for all present. The managers then interacted with the parents and answered any concerns they had. Was a morning very well spent!
