5. Cost ManagementPlan
This document will give a detailed breakdown of how we planned and estimated the
costs associated with the project. Reference will be given to the excel document:
Appendix 2
5.1. Cost Management Approach
The project team separated the Hair and the Nail activities. All the hair components
were divided between the team members, being Patrick (PM), Mpho, Sophia, Juanita.
Our team member: Elaine, offered to sort out all costs in regards to the
manicure/pedicure/others resources as can be seen on the Resource Plan section.
The manicure/ pedicure section includes also other small activities such as facial
treatment.
In Appendix 2, we give a breakdown of our income which consists of Patrick, Mpho,
Sophia, and Juanita who each had to bring in R700.00, whether it is from our own
pockets or if we’ve collected it from relatives, co-workers or churches.
These monies will be used for purchasing the hair fibres and also paying the hair
stylists with R200.00 per session. Elaine has paid the manicure artist R800.00 once
off. Some of the other costs are taken upon ourselves which we’ve not included in the
excel document.
All resources required for the hair stylist will only come from the following four team
members: Patrick, Mpho, Sophia and Juanita (Elaine is excluded from this list)
5.2. Estimation of the Cost
The breakdown of these amounts will be given in Appendix 2 which has the 3 sheets,
the first one being the estimated cost.
5.3. Actual Cost Differencesand how it is managed
When we look at Appendix 4, on sheet 2 we have the income and expenses, where
the final balance includes the amounts still outstanding.
13
Taking that into consideration we can see that we will still have money left after all the
hair costs are taken into account, we have 3 weeks left to still cover the costs and any
extra money will be used to finance the celebration of the final session on the 30 April
2015. Donations and personal contribution will help finance the rest of the activities
required for the project completion. The project is cost-effective allowing for project
team members’ personal funding of the different activities.
5.4. Change Control
As mentioned above this project is cost-effective and when the projection of the costs
was made, the highest possible estimate of costs was preferred to the lowest, thus
making sure extra money will be generated.
The reason for this need of extra cash is for the closing day celebration at Ons Plek,
which was left out of our initial planning, but later on added unto the project as we saw
the need of celebrating the achievement of the project.
6. ResourceManagementPlan
6.1. Purpose:
The purpose of the information in this document is to indicate how the resources are
aligned to this project at Ons Plek, thus delivering a professional service which is our
deliverable. The resources are directly linked to the planning of the project.
6.2. Resourcesforour projectare:
- Funds
- People/Beneficiaries/Stakeholders
- Specialist skills
- Equipment
- Trainees
14
- Technical skills
The above-mentioned resources utilised for the project are an addendum of the
Strategic Management processes of the chosen organisation: Ons Plek.
However, the project is not placing extra and/or conflicting demands on the chosen
organisation resources and because of the uniqueness of the chosen organisation;
The authority, responsibility and performance depend all on organisational structure
and culture.
6.3. Resource Constraints Scheduling:
The limited resource schedule usually reduces slack. By reducing slack we ensured
delay is minimised and we ensured that a number of critical and near critical activities
will not be delayed as well.
6.4. Resource scheduling:
- Project Management staff of whom the project manager is in charge must
determine how the assigned labour and /or equipment are adequate to deal
with the assigned project.
- We also need to determine if the original deadline is realistic. (For now the
available resources are sufficient to meet the deadline of the project)
- However when resources were depleted and /or when staff members run late
tasks are shared amongst available staff for a particular day.
- We were however able to continue with tasks as team members are multi
skilled.
6.5. Utilization of Resources:
Funds were obtained from the project team members and from anonymous donors.
Each project team member brought their own expertise to the project which further
enhanced the delivering of the project.
15
These resources were utilized as follows:
FUNDS:
- Hair fibre (different textures)
- Flat iron
- Shampoo and conditioner
- Nail varnish
- Nail varnish remover
- Nail art stickers
- Nail clippers
- Nail files
- Nail buffers
- Feet soaking salt, feet scrub, feet balm
- Toe dividers
- False nails, glue
- Hand towels
- Hand and feet soaking bowls
6.6. The Project Management Team members and their specific

6.7. Key Project Stakeholders
Before going far looking at our project stakeholders lets define who stakeholders are. According to the project management slide
notes stakeholders or a stakeholder is someone who ‘‘can gain or lose from the success or failure of a project, who has a “stake” in
the project.’’ Stakeholders also can be defined as according to the project management 5th edition text book pg…… ‘‘Stakeholders
are people and organizations that are actively involved in the project, or whose interests may be positively or negatively affected by
the project.’’
A project role is an assignment on the project team. It’s similar to a job description. A team member can have one or more roles at
the same time. A person’s role may be temporary or last for the life of the project.

Community Will benefit from the girls skills at
affordable prices because the
girls families are in different
communities. When they reunite
with their families
The purpose of this matrix is to gain clarity and agreement on who does what on this project, so we could define the columns with as
much detail as makes sense. For instance, in the above, Project Team could have been broken into the specific people that make
up our project team, with each person given their own column. We could then specify the actual individual responsible for the creation
of the Business Requirements.
After the matrix was completed, it was circulated for approval so that everyone understood and agreed to their roles and responsibility.
This was done early enough and was to be included in our Project Definition (charter). On the matrix, the different roles appear as
columns, with the deliverables listed as rows, the intersecting points describe each role's (or person's) responsibility for each
deliverable. A simple matrix follows.

The letters in the matrix are interpreted as follows:
 A means that the person (or role) approves the deliverable.
 R means that the person (or role) reviews the deliverable.
 C means that the person (or role) creates the deliverable. (Usually there is only
one person who is responsible for creating a deliverable, although many people
may provide input.)
 (Other codes are I -- Provides input and N -- Is notified when a deliverable is
complete.
In the table above, the Project Definition document was created by the project
manager (Patrick Ilunga); reviewed by the project team and approved by the project
sponsor. The Business Requirements were created by the project team; reviewed by
our project manager and approved by the project sponsor ( Mr Percy Saungwene).

7. Risk ManagementPlan
7.1. Purpose
This document will provide more information regarding the risks that we may
face over the life span of the project that we are conducting at Ons Plek Cape
Town and what we’ll do to ensure that it does not materialise.
7.2. Scope
It provides a list of risks associated with the Ons Plek project and what we’ve
put in place, hence we have a separate document called the Ons Plek Risk
Management Matrix which will be referred to throughout the project.
7.3. Background to the Risk
Our project is based in a very sensitive environment in terms of many rules
(refer to Appendix 5) this is and changes that can take place that is out of our
control. In terms of all the girls not able to finish our program and new girls
starting in the middle of the program. When their relationships with their families
are much better and more stable then social workers will give the go-ahead that
they may be re-united with their families for good and in other instances there
are new girls that are taken away from their families or whatever difficult
situations they may be in.
Below is more detail and reference to the risk matrix, the time scale on the risk
matrix refers to Weeks 1 to Week 9, which is from the 5 March 2015 (first
session) to the 30 April 2015 (last session).
Risk 1: Classroom Size I.T.O amount of girls – The girls come and go, as
some are re-united with their families, others run away and new girls join the
23
group. This is a risk that is out of our control, all we need to ensure is that we
are very accommodating to the circumstances.
Risk 2: Girls not finishing the 8 sessions – This happens as a result of the
above risk. Which we have no control over we just need to accommodate
anything of the sort that does happen in these cases because it is such a
sensitive environment in which we are doing our project.
Risk 3: Uncooperative trainees – Some girls do not want to work with us, they
are drawn back and will sit in their corner and cut themselves off from everyone
else, this we however do understand but we need to engage with them so that
they can in a sense warm up to us and not see us as enemies.
Risk 4: Risking ourselves because we don’t have the necessary social
working skills to work with the girls – This is also as a result of the above
risk, we try to interact but they don’t always take not of us or say funny things
to us and we immediately just back off and we’ll speak to the ladies in charge
to rather deal with that.
Risk 5: Slow learners – Not all of the girls have been exposed to what we’re
doing there, they enjoy it but it also makes it a bit difficult because we only have
the go ahead to do the sessions during a specified amount of time and cannot
go past that due to strict rules.
Risk 6: Trainers not being able to attend – This happens because they own
their own little business and have their busy periods but that is something that
we knew about before-hand.
Risk 7: Bad Trainers – Trainers who do not care about the girls or doesn’t
have the passion for doing these things below their standard prices that they
charge. If it was a case where we get bad trainers it would mean that the quality
of the sessions would be really low and us as a team wouldn’t be successful in
our project then and as the role of the project team we also wouldn’t be
successful.
24
Risk 8: Failure to find sponsorship – Not a lot of people want to invest in a
place like that especially for teaching the girls a skills because they don’t want
to spend money on something as valuable as running programs when some
girls end up running away, they see it as a waste of money. The only thing we
need to find sponsorship for is a celebration for the girls once they’ve completed
the sessions.
Risk 9: Unhappy Project Sponsors – If we do not meet regularly with our
sponsors we’ll find this occurring and it could cause great difficulty for the
success of the project.
Risk 10: Measuring success or failure – The difficulty of seeing if we’ve
succeeded in what we’ve put out for the girls to learn, but our program to
measure this risk is found in our celebrations planning where we’re going to
give the girls a chance to showcase what they’ve learned and this will take place
on the 30 April 2015.
All our risks are accompanied by a mitigation plan and also what more we can
do to try and avoid those risks and/or minimising the risks, these are all found
in the risk matrix, which is attached as an appendix.
8. Sponsor Acceptance
The project charter of this initiative was authorised by the project Sponsor: Mr Percy
Sangwene (Project management Lecturer) and the management of ONS PLEK.

9.4. Annexure 5: Notes for Volunteers at Ons Plek
NOTES FOR VOLUNTEERS AT ONS PLEK PROJECTS
Welcome!!! We hope that your work with us will be challenging and fulfilling for you, and a real gift to the girls.
Herewith some of the basic conditions of volunteer work at Ons Plek Projects.
First of all, where is what and who is who:
We have two houses, the intake shelter (Ons Plek) in Albertus Street Cape Town and the community house (Siviwe) at York
Road Woodstock.
The person presently responsible for volunteers is Gina Jagers (Unit Manager Siviwe/Volunteer Co-Ordinator). As a volunteer
you are responsible to Gina, who may designate you a direct supervisor as well. If you are working at Ons Plek you would report
directly to either the Social Worker/Unit Manager/Educator.
And then, guidelines guideline and guidelines:
xviii
A volunteer is a person who does an important job of work without pay and of his/her own free will. We regard your contributio n
as very important to the project and therefore we ask for a commitment similar to that of a staff member as far as regular
attendance is concerned.
DON’T FORGET!!!!:
The Child Care Workers are responsible for everything the girls do. Volunteers must always ‘check in’ with the child care worker
on duty when arriving and when leaving.
WORK TASKS
Make sure you know what your work will entail. It is important to be clear from the beginning why you are involved and what is
expected of you. If you have any queries about the work or organisation, please feel free to ask.
COST OF ACTIVITIES
Confirm with Gina how the cost of equipment (e.g. pens, paper, photocopying, art materials, transport for children etc.) needed
for your work will be covered, before finalising plans for sessions.
REGULAR ATTENDANCE
xix
We will try to arrange your voluntary work to the hours you wish to give. Reliability is very important. When you are unable to
come, please cancel and make an alternative arrangement as early as possible. If you cannot get hold of Gina (or your direct
supervisor if you have been allotted one), speak to the child care worker on duty.
If you feel you are in the wrong situation and you are not finding your voluntary work satisfactory or rewarding, it may be possible
to find more rewarding voluntary work. Once again let Gina know a month in advance so you can do a good farewell for the girls.
CONFIDENTIALITY AND COUNSELLING
At Ons Plek confidentiality is kept within the direct service staff team. This is made very clear to the girls, so that they know when
something they share with one person may be known to other staff members as well. While we cannot share confidential
information with volunteers, it is very important that volunteers make clear to the girls that anything shared with a volunteer may
be told to the direct service staff. This prevents traumatic situations arising where a volunteer has important or even dangerous
information (e.g. where a girl says she is planning to harm herself or another person) and then has to break trust with the girl and
tell staff anyway.
Volunteers do not get involved with counselling the girls, and the following guidelines are valuable in making sure one keeps the
conversation on a clear befriending level.
xx
Do NOT talk about the past, pain, private issues and problems with the girls. It is OK to chat about the present, positives and
future dreams.
For example asking a girl why she is at Ons Plek, where her family is, where her mother is, where she is from, whether she lived
on the streets, what strolling/street life is like, how long she has been here, how she feels about being here, anything about sex,
rape, abuse, drugs etc. are all quite UNSUITABLE topics.
Examples of SUITABLE topics would be sharing about your and her favourite TV programmes and personalities, your and her
best liked sports and sporting heroes, favourite foods, fashion and hairdos, what she would like to do when she grows up, what
she most likes doing and learning about, etc.
If a girl shares personal information with you freely without you having introduced the subject at all, you may listen respectfully to
as much as she wants to tell you, as long as you do not delve any deeper.
If you feel uncertain about something that arises in your work with the girls, talk to Gina or the Director, Pam Jackson.
HEALTH ISSUES
HIV/AIDS is a fact of life in South Africa. Who is HIV+ and who is HIV – is each person’s private information. At Ons Plek we use
‘universal precautions’, meaning that we behave as if everyone is HIV positive when attending to wounds etc.
xxi
PHOTOGRAPHS:
There are legal considerations in taking photographs of children at Ons Plek, since the children are protected by the Child C are
Act. You may only take photographs of the girls (cell phones included) with the permission of the Director (Pam Jackson). All
photographs intended for the girls must be given to the Unit Manager or Director. Some girls give photos of themselves to fri ends,
leaving them with no record of their own lives. The person in charge makes sure that the photos are kept in the girls’ life story
albums rather than dispersed amongst their peers.
SECURITY:
While Ons Plek and Siviwe are “safe houses”, being ‘security wise’ can prevent mishaps. Hand, handbags, mobile phones and
jackets to staff members for safekeeping while you are with the girls.
IF YOU ARE WORRIED:
If there is anything bothering you about the session or the child, discuss it with the child care worker or contact Gina.
GIFTS AND DONATIONS:
Do not give individual children gifts.
Consult with the child care worker if you want to donate anything to the girls.
xxii
PROMISES:
Do not make promises you cannot definitely keep.
Good boundaries and absolute honesty about the duration and nature of the placement is essential in the volunteer’s relationship
with the girls.
Best Wishes!
From Pam Jackson and Gina Jagers
(Director) (Unit Manager - Siviwe)

  • 12. 12 5. Cost ManagementPlan This document will give a detailed breakdown of how we planned and estimated the costs associated with the project. Reference will be given to the excel document: Appendix 2 5.1. Cost Management Approach The project team separated the Hair and the Nail activities. All the hair components were divided between the team members, being Patrick (PM), Mpho, Sophia, Juanita. Our team member: Elaine, offered to sort out all costs in regards to the manicure/pedicure/others resources as can be seen on the Resource Plan section. The manicure/ pedicure section includes also other small activities such as facial treatment. In Appendix 2, we give a breakdown of our income which consists of Patrick, Mpho, Sophia, and Juanita who each had to bring in R700.00, whether it is from our own pockets or if we’ve collected it from relatives, co-workers or churches. These monies will be used for purchasing the hair fibres and also paying the hair stylists with R200.00 per session. Elaine has paid the manicure artist R800.00 once off. Some of the other costs are taken upon ourselves which we’ve not included in the excel document. All resources required for the hair stylist will only come from the following four team members: Patrick, Mpho, Sophia and Juanita (Elaine is excluded from this list) 5.2. Estimation of the Cost The breakdown of these amounts will be given in Appendix 2 which has the 3 sheets, the first one being the estimated cost. 5.3. Actual Cost Differencesand how it is managed When we look at Appendix 4, on sheet 2 we have the income and expenses, where the final balance includes the amounts still outstanding.
  • 13. 13 Taking that into consideration we can see that we will still have money left after all the hair costs are taken into account, we have 3 weeks left to still cover the costs and any extra money will be used to finance the celebration of the final session on the 30 April 2015. Donations and personal contribution will help finance the rest of the activities required for the project completion. The project is cost-effective allowing for project team members’ personal funding of the different activities. 5.4. Change Control As mentioned above this project is cost-effective and when the projection of the costs was made, the highest possible estimate of costs was preferred to the lowest, thus making sure extra money will be generated. The reason for this need of extra cash is for the closing day celebration at Ons Plek, which was left out of our initial planning, but later on added unto the project as we saw the need of celebrating the achievement of the project. 6. ResourceManagementPlan 6.1. Purpose: The purpose of the information in this document is to indicate how the resources are aligned to this project at Ons Plek, thus delivering a professional service which is our deliverable. The resources are directly linked to the planning of the project. 6.2. Resourcesforour projectare: - Funds - People/Beneficiaries/Stakeholders - Specialist skills - Equipment - Trainees
  • 14. 14 - Technical skills The above-mentioned resources utilised for the project are an addendum of the Strategic Management processes of the chosen organisation: Ons Plek. However, the project is not placing extra and/or conflicting demands on the chosen organisation resources and because of the uniqueness of the chosen organisation; The authority, responsibility and performance depend all on organisational structure and culture. 6.3. Resource Constraints Scheduling: The limited resource schedule usually reduces slack. By reducing slack we ensured delay is minimised and we ensured that a number of critical and near critical activities will not be delayed as well. 6.4. Resource scheduling: - Project Management staff of whom the project manager is in charge must determine how the assigned labour and /or equipment are adequate to deal with the assigned project. - We also need to determine if the original deadline is realistic. (For now the available resources are sufficient to meet the deadline of the project) - However when resources were depleted and /or when staff members run late tasks are shared amongst available staff for a particular day. - We were however able to continue with tasks as team members are multi skilled. 6.5. Utilization of Resources: Funds were obtained from the project team members and from anonymous donors. Each project team member brought their own expertise to the project which further enhanced the delivering of the project.
  • 15. 15 These resources were utilized as follows: FUNDS: - Hair fibre (different textures) - Flat iron - Shampoo and conditioner - Nail varnish - Nail varnish remover - Nail art stickers - Nail clippers - Nail files - Nail buffers - Feet soaking salt, feet scrub, feet balm - Toe dividers - False nails, glue - Hand towels - Hand and feet soaking bowls 6.6.

  • 17. 17 6.7. Key Project Stakeholders Before going far looking at our project stakeholders lets define who stakeholders are. According to the project management slide notes stakeholders or a stakeholder is someone who ‘‘can gain or lose from the success or failure of a project, who has a “stake” in the project.’’ Stakeholders also can be defined as according to the project management 5th edition text book pg…… ‘‘Stakeholders are people and organizations that are actively involved in the project, or whose interests may be positively or negatively affected by the project.’’ A project role is an assignment on the project team. It’s similar to a job description. A team member can have one or more roles at the same time. A person’s role may be temporary or last for the life of the project. Key stakeholders Stakeholder Information/requirement Medium Frequency 1 Sponsor Approval or rejection of project after completion Gives continuous advice Four Times in semester 2 Project Manager To oversee the project progression in all areas Whatsapp, emails and face to face during group meetings Daily basis

  • 19. 19 8 Community Will benefit from the girls skills at affordable prices because the girls families are in different communities. When they reunite with their families The purpose of this matrix is to gain clarity and agreement on who does what on this project, so we could define the columns with as much detail as makes sense. For instance, in the above, Project Team could have been broken into the specific people that make up our project team, with each person given their own column. We could then specify the actual individual responsible for the creation of the Business Requirements. After the matrix was completed, it was circulated for approval so that everyone understood and agreed to their roles and responsibility. This was done early enough and was to be included in our Project Definition (charter). On the matrix, the different roles appear as columns, with the deliverables listed as rows, the intersecting points describe each role's (or person's) responsibility for each deliverable. A simple matrix follows.

(Usually there is only one person who is responsible for creating a deliverable, although many people may provide input.)  (Other codes are I -- Provides input and N -- Is notified when a deliverable is complete. In the table above, the Project Definition document was created by the project manager (Patrick Ilunga); reviewed by the project team and approved by the project sponsor.

  • 22. 22 7. Risk ManagementPlan 7.1. Purpose This document will provide more information regarding the risks that we may face over the life span of the project that we are conducting at Ons Plek Cape Town and what we’ll do to ensure that it does not materialise. 7.2. Scope It provides a list of risks associated with the Ons Plek project and what we’ve put in place, hence we have a separate document called the Ons Plek Risk Management Matrix which will be referred to throughout the project. 7.3. Background to the Risk Our project is based in a very sensitive environment in terms of many rules (refer to Appendix 5) this is and changes that can take place that is out of our control. In terms of all the girls not able to finish our program and new girls starting in the middle of the program. When their relationships with their families are much better and more stable then social workers will give the go-ahead that they may be re-united with their families for good and in other instances there are new girls that are taken away from their families or whatever difficult situations they may be in. Below is more detail and reference to the risk matrix, the time scale on the risk matrix refers to Weeks 1 to Week 9, which is from the 5 March 2015 (first session) to the 30 April 2015 (last session). Risk 1: Classroom Size I.T.O amount of girls – The girls come and go, as some are re-united with their families, others run away and new girls join the
  • 23. 23 group. This is a risk that is out of our control, all we need to ensure is that we are very accommodating to the circumstances. Risk 2: Girls not finishing the 8 sessions – This happens as a result of the above risk. Which we have no control over we just need to accommodate anything of the sort that does happen in these cases because it is such a sensitive environment in which we are doing our project. Risk 3: Uncooperative trainees – Some girls do not want to work with us, they are drawn back and will sit in their corner and cut themselves off from everyone else, this we however do understand but we need to engage with them so that they can in a sense warm up to us and not see us as enemies. Risk 4: Risking ourselves because we don’t have the necessary social working skills to work with the girls – This is also as a result of the above risk, we try to interact but they don’t always take not of us or say funny things to us and we immediately just back off and we’ll speak to the ladies in charge to rather deal with that. Risk 5: Slow learners – Not all of the girls have been exposed to what we’re doing there, they enjoy it but it also makes it a bit difficult because we only have the go ahead to do the sessions during a specified amount of time and cannot go past that due to strict rules. Risk 6: Trainers not being able to attend – This happens because they own their own little business and have their busy periods but that is something that we knew about before-hand. Risk 7: Bad Trainers – Trainers who do not care about the girls or doesn’t have the passion for doing these things below their standard prices that they charge. If it was a case where we get bad trainers it would mean that the quality of the sessions would be really low and us as a team wouldn’t be successful in our project then and as the role of the project team we also wouldn’t be successful.
  • 24. 24 Risk 8: Failure to find sponsorship – Not a lot of people want to invest in a place like that especially for teaching the girls a skills because they don’t want to spend money on something as valuable as running programs when some girls end up running away, they see it as a waste of money. The only thing we need to find sponsorship for is a celebration for the girls once they’ve completed the sessions. Risk 9: Unhappy Project Sponsors – If we do not meet regularly with our sponsors we’ll find this occurring and it could cause great difficulty for the success of the project. Risk 10: Measuring success or failure – The difficulty of seeing if we’ve succeeded in what we’ve put out for the girls to learn, but our program to measure this risk is found in our celebrations planning where we’re going to give the girls a chance to showcase what they’ve learned and this will take place on the 30 April 2015. All our risks are accompanied by a mitigation plan and also what more we can do to try and avoid those risks and/or minimising the risks, these are all found in the risk matrix, which is attached as an appendix. 8. Sponsor Acceptance The project charter of this initiative was authorised by the project Sponsor: Mr Percy Sangwene (Project management Lecturer) and the management of ONS PLEK.

  • 41. xvii 9.4. Annexure 5: Notes for Volunteers at Ons Plek NOTES FOR VOLUNTEERS AT ONS PLEK PROJECTS Welcome!!! We hope that your work with us will be challenging and fulfilling for you, and a real gift to the girls. Herewith some of the basic conditions of volunteer work at Ons Plek Projects. First of all, where is what and who is who: We have two houses, the intake shelter (Ons Plek) in Albertus Street Cape Town and the community house (Siviwe) at York Road Woodstock. The person presently responsible for volunteers is Gina Jagers (Unit Manager Siviwe/Volunteer Co-Ordinator). As a volunteer you are responsible to Gina, who may designate you a direct supervisor as well. If you are working at Ons Plek you would report directly to either the Social Worker/Unit Manager/Educator. And then, guidelines guideline and guidelines:
  • 42. xviii A volunteer is a person who does an important job of work without pay and of his/her own free will. We regard your contributio n as very important to the project and therefore we ask for a commitment similar to that of a staff member as far as regular attendance is concerned. DON’T FORGET!!!!: The Child Care Workers are responsible for everything the girls do. Volunteers must always ‘check in’ with the child care worker on duty when arriving and when leaving. WORK TASKS Make sure you know what your work will entail. It is important to be clear from the beginning why you are involved and what is expected of you. If you have any queries about the work or organisation, please feel free to ask. COST OF ACTIVITIES Confirm with Gina how the cost of equipment (e.g. pens, paper, photocopying, art materials, transport for children etc.) needed for your work will be covered, before finalising plans for sessions. REGULAR ATTENDANCE
  • 43. xix We will try to arrange your voluntary work to the hours you wish to give. Reliability is very important. When you are unable to come, please cancel and make an alternative arrangement as early as possible. If you cannot get hold of Gina (or your direct supervisor if you have been allotted one), speak to the child care worker on duty. If you feel you are in the wrong situation and you are not finding your voluntary work satisfactory or rewarding, it may be possible to find more rewarding voluntary work. Once again let Gina know a month in advance so you can do a good farewell for the girls. CONFIDENTIALITY AND COUNSELLING At Ons Plek confidentiality is kept within the direct service staff team. This is made very clear to the girls, so that they know when something they share with one person may be known to other staff members as well. While we cannot share confidential information with volunteers, it is very important that volunteers make clear to the girls that anything shared with a volunteer may be told to the direct service staff. This prevents traumatic situations arising where a volunteer has important or even dangerous information (e.g. where a girl says she is planning to harm herself or another person) and then has to break trust with the girl and tell staff anyway. Volunteers do not get involved with counselling the girls, and the following guidelines are valuable in making sure one keeps the conversation on a clear befriending level.
  • 44. xx Do NOT talk about the past, pain, private issues and problems with the girls. It is OK to chat about the present, positives and future dreams. For example asking a girl why she is at Ons Plek, where her family is, where her mother is, where she is from, whether she lived on the streets, what strolling/street life is like, how long she has been here, how she feels about being here, anything about sex, rape, abuse, drugs etc. are all quite UNSUITABLE topics. Examples of SUITABLE topics would be sharing about your and her favourite TV programmes and personalities, your and her best liked sports and sporting heroes, favourite foods, fashion and hairdos, what she would like to do when she grows up, what she most likes doing and learning about, etc. If a girl shares personal information with you freely without you having introduced the subject at all, you may listen respectfully to as much as she wants to tell you, as long as you do not delve any deeper. If you feel uncertain about something that arises in your work with the girls, talk to Gina or the Director, Pam Jackson. HEALTH ISSUES HIV/AIDS is a fact of life in South Africa. Who is HIV+ and who is HIV – is each person’s private information. At Ons Plek we use ‘universal precautions’, meaning that we behave as if everyone is HIV positive when attending to wounds etc.
  • 45. xxi PHOTOGRAPHS: There are legal considerations in taking photographs of children at Ons Plek, since the children are protected by the Child C are Act. You may only take photographs of the girls (cell phones included) with the permission of the Director (Pam Jackson). All photographs intended for the girls must be given to the Unit Manager or Director. Some girls give photos of themselves to fri ends, leaving them with no record of their own lives. The person in charge makes sure that the photos are kept in the girls’ life story albums rather than dispersed amongst their peers. SECURITY: While Ons Plek and Siviwe are “safe houses”, being ‘security wise’ can prevent mishaps. Hand, handbags, mobile phones and jackets to staff members for safekeeping while you are with the girls. IF YOU ARE WORRIED: If there is anything bothering you about the session or the child, discuss it with the child care worker or contact Gina. GIFTS AND DONATIONS: Do not give individual children gifts. Consult with the child care worker if you want to donate anything to the girls.
  • 46. xxii PROMISES: Do not make promises you cannot definitely keep. Good boundaries and absolute honesty about the duration and nature of the placement is essential in the volunteer’s relationship with the girls. Best Wishes!
