NEW DAWN ABSTINENCE PROGRAM
The work we do in the Abstinence program at New Dawn is needed by every caring parent. Children need to be talked to about their sexuality and about life in general. It can be difficult for parents to start a conversation with their children about sex but should you as a parent keep quiet? We come in to help facilitate this process, we start the conversation and you carry on so that your child can be fully equipped. You empower your child when you give them the right information.
Parents are the primary educators of their children in all things including matters of their sexuality, we in New Dawn are aware we are just a catalyst to get you started in the process of this much needed education. Therefore registering them in New Dawn’s Abstinence Program is right and demonstrates your care & concern.
The following quotes of authors who have written on sexuality expresses how most of us grew up. “I knew everything about sex by the time I was ten! I leant it from magazines, T.V., videos and the talk behind the school toilets. It took me much longer to realize that much of what I thought I knew was false or even worse half-truths.”
“my mum never talked to me about sex. Everything I know I’ve had and learned from my friends. Is there more I can do?” Joy(14yrs)
Let us do everything within our power to ensure that our children’s sex education is not left to media and other sources.
I joined New Dawn in August 2008 to help manage this important Program. It has grown from 9 groups to 27 groups. 9 boys and 18 girls. We have hired two marketers to help improve our services as we grow. Some of the work we do includes:
1. Helping to start new groups, recruiting 2. Recruiting & Training new facilitators 3. Start off The Day Spring a program designed for children 5 to 8 years 4. Start off Daybreak program - a program for the 13 to 18 years of age which brings in those who graduate from the existing one and others who have not been in any of our programs. 5. Organizing for camps the second week of August every year.
We all know the innocence of the curiosity of children as young as 5 years of age. Questions like “Where did I come from?” That some children have been made to believe that children are picked or bought is sad. The more untruths they believe about their sexuality the worse the foundation is laid with regards to this very important area of life. We in New Dawn believe that the partnership between the parents and us will safeguard this crucial foundation and hence secure their commitment to use the gift of their sexuality in accordance to God’s standard.
We charge a facilitation fee of Ksh.9000 per year to enable us to run the office, which includes paying staff salaries, facilitators allowances, rent, trainings and camp planning. Payments can be paid in any of the following ways: Full payment of Ksh.9000 once a year Quarterly at Ksh.3000
