Finally we moved into the extended office

Macheo has been using the same office since 2006 and the amount of employees using the ofice has grown extensively in the last years.

The office space was becoming far too small for the amount of people working there and thus affecting privacy, which is much needed, for specific programs.  In the new situation we have four private rooms and two open offices, instead of two rooms and an open office space. The individual offices will be used by the Director,-Marnix, the accounts office-Simon and Julie, the children’s home social workers-Grace, Esther, Benson and Solomon, and finally the outreach-Joan and Faith. All the programs will get representation in every office. The rest of the employees will occupy the open offices.

The new office space will especially benefit the social workers. Grace shared with us the need for more privacy. There is now more room available to share information and have discussions on the children in a private setting. Another important fact is that this will give the children more confidence to visit the social workers office directly, without any worries on their privacy.In the past there were incidences where children would shy off.

We would like to thank everyone who made this possible for us. This will go a long way in improving the way things are done all for the future of Macheo Children’s Centre.  Some of other benefits, just to name a few, will be;

• Our daily planning will be easier as the new setting allows people from our different programs and projects to work closely together
• A better team spirit as working closely together will allow more interaction in better settings
• The work-flow will be much better since people working together are closely linked with each other
• There is now room for creativity and to brainstorming ideas
• There will be room for volunteers to work who come and share their experience and information with us

We are assured of a better 2012 where we move close into achieving our vision and our goals. Join us this year and share something we do with people around you.
