Well-prepared with learning and play materials, smartly dressed in their orange aprons well matched with orange face masks, the para-social (caregivers) are headed for the community to meet children.
Walking with resolve on the dusty marram road, the burning desire to pass on knowledge to children is evident on their faces. They sacrifice a lot to attend to the children. They forego their errands. They don’t have alternative means of transport apart from walking, often long distances under the scorching sun. To them, reaching out to children is a passion.
