BUDDYING UP WITH CHILD VENDORs

​Donor Agency:            National Human Rights Institute of Samoa
Duration:                   December 2018
 
Samoa Victim Support Group celebrated the 70thanniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights 2018 with child vendors on the streets of Apia.
 
The activity aimed at working on the child vendors’ self-esteem, that they can rise up from the challenges of the streets, to a much better environment such as the classroom, and for SVSG’s case, the Hot Soup Skill Building Training.  Each child vendor buddied up with a youth member of the SVSG (Junior) for the whole day at the youth’s workplaces. 
 
At the Samoa National Orchestra at the Ministry of Education, Sports and Cultre where a few members of the SVSG (Junior) work.  
 
The children had the opportunity to try the different musical instruments used by the National Orchestra, and had fun doing so. Some even talked of becoming musicians in the future.
 
The final part of the activity was taking the children across the other side of the Campus where the Hot Soup Skills Training is located.  
 
Seeing the children trying on different tools used for skill building and the excitement in their faces upon completing a product, was enough to justify the need for education for these young entrepreneurs.
 
From the NHRI and the SVSG’s human rights celebration, 10 more child vendors have enrolled at the Hot Soup Skill Building Training for 2019.
