In the post Tsunami process,
Viluthu is supporting the local NGOs and Community Based Groups
through training in Critical Incident Stress management. We are also involved
in building skills of teachers to deal with children affected by Tsunami
through the integration of theatre related play activities. In addition
to these projects we are also facilitating a program to empower women victims
so that they are able to lobby service providers and policy makers for
a just delivery of aid and appropriate assistance that puts people back
on their feet.
We also hope to build capacities
of the local sectors to implement Local Agenda 21 in the reconstruction
processes.
Viluthu is looking for
dynamic and creative activists (Tamil speaking of course) to work with
us for a limited period of time. The applicant should ideally possess a
degree in social Sciences or development studies. His or her interests
in the field of Media, Gender Issues or Social Movements would
be considered an advantage. The focus of the work will largely be lobbying
and advocacy , which is essentially - Documentation, Coordination of coalition
meetings, dissemination of information, linking resource persons to communities
and media work.
