| description |
Indigenous healing has shown itself to
be an effective treatment for the trauma suffered by
children in war-torn countries of Africa. Recent experience
in Mozambique demonstrates that other dimensions of local
culture may be just as important in socially
"grounding" a generation of young people uprooted
by armed conflict and repairing the ravages of war. By
1990s, community preschools were built to address the
growing demand for education. The problems of unattended
children remained acute. Then, a new initiative put the
community preschools under local control. In the year 2000,
the village family created the Association of Friends of the
Children of Itoculo, which offers a unique opportunity to
couple past and to harness the best of traditional practice
in youth initiation to opportunities for viable rural
futures in Mozambique. An infusion and selection of
indigenous models has proved to be a vital element in the
solution to the problems of a war-torn society. |
