News from Gulu
Training of new counsellors in January and February 2019 completed
Our 6 newly employed counsellors are joining our existing team of 15 senior counsellors. They are all lay personnel, having work experience and education only in non-psychological fields – but all completed successfully an intense practical and theoretical training and were chosen among 10 trainees and originally 40 applicants in total. Currently they are joining the senior counsellors in their treatment sessions in order to have a more intense on-the-job learning period before they will soon start their own treatments with highly traumatised clients by war, forceful abductions and torture.

Reuniting Burundian street children and their families
Since the beginning of 2016 a lot happened in Burundi. During the past year, the main work at our Centre for Psychotraumatology, “Kira Agahinda”, concerned the implementation of a project with street children of vivo international and Burundikids e.V.in collaboration with the local NGO Foundation Stamm. The project was mainly funded by the Foundation for Collaborative Development of Baden-Württemberg (SEZ). Furthermore, the successful implementation of the project depended largely on the support through crowdfunding. The main focus of the project was the reintegration of 40 children and youths by implementing different stages as part of the reintegration process.
