| Description du stage : |
CIDA interns will be equipped to initiate Water for Life Projects in
communities having no access to safe drinking water. Interns will help in the
expansion of the current BSF program in Santarem, to Belem and Castanhal bases
(river communities along the Amazon basin). Interns' experiences will include
training national staff for the future sustainability of the project,
constructing and installing filters and conducting hygiene and filter education
workshops in communities. Through these activities, interns will develop
knowledge and understanding of community health and development principles. Overseas, interns will assist in training PAZ staff in the implementation of the BSF technology and help with project start-up at the Belem and Castanhal bases. Interns will first train with staff in Santarem, and will then be responsible for the implementation of 100 filters in the expansion areas through completing tasks such as: reporting to the project manager, working with and training local staff, building and installing water filters, developing training curriculum for the local context and culture, assisting with on-going project development, conducting assessments and monitoring, delivering health, hygiene and filter training to communities, and delivering reports on project activities. While in Canada, interns participate in pre-departure training, job search activities, public speaking engagements, and debriefing while reporting to the International Field Staff Training and Development Manager for the duration of their overseas placement. Mandates: Samaritan's Purse is requesting that this mandate be applied to two internship positions for a number of reasons: additional safety and security precautions, emotional support during stressful times, collaboration of ideas, and experience working in teams. Additionally, with projects having often more than one project site, this allows for interns to be targeting more communities in their time overseas. |
