Today we wanted to introduce our last staff member for our GOGO Group!
Say “hello” to Tamara!
Tamara’s role as pre-school nanny involves taking care of the precious little babies whose Mama’s are part of the program. She also steps in to aid our pre school teacher, Chinsisi with the older kids.
Tamara works with such a cheerful heart, a love for the children and has blown us away with her work ethic.
We are truly grateful to have Tamara as part of the Ufulu Team
Meet Linda, the lady who makes sure we are all fed and have the much needed energy for the afternoon bit of the training. Linda was referred to us by a church in the city as someone well able to help, and since she joined the team, she has done such a wonderful job!
Linda is a single mum who has worked in several restaurants in the city, and definitely knows her way around the kitchen. Her role is making sure food items have been procured and well cooked, in time for Lunch.
We are grateful and excited to have Linda as part of the team
Meet Chinsinsi, our wonderful Pre-School Assistant. Chinsinsi is a graduate of the GOGO (Grace of God Children’s Home) program and recently completed her MSCE (Malawi Secondary School Examination). Chinsinsi currently awaits her college plan and eagerly agreed to join the Ufulu team while she waits.
Chinsinsi’s role is to aid the GOGO Pre-School teacher with morning teaching activities. She helps keeps the children on task and engaged. Chinsinsi has the important job of attending to our two small babies to ensure they receive the utmost care while their mamas are training. After the GOGO Pre-School has ended at 11, Chinsinsi takes over and continues caring for the children until the mamas finish their afternoon classes.
We are thankful for Chinsinsi’s high energy, great attitude and love for children and we love the cooperative spirit she brings to the Team!
Meet Aaron, an integral part of Team Ufulu!
Aaron received his Advanced Diploma in Accounting and comes to us with substantial experience in finance management and leadership. Aaron oversees all things finance for Ufulu Groups from the day to day operations to developing future visionary budgets.
