Tetanus Injection

All wounds carry a risk of infection. Dirty wounds in particular carry a risk of tetanus infection. The bacteria that cause tetanus are present in the soil and in animal faeces. If they get into a wound they multiply very rapidly. Tetanus is a serious, potentially fatal condition. It can cause muscle spasms and leads to lockjaw. It can be prevented by a tetanus injection.

Have regular tetanus injections. A booster is recommended every five years. Always check that you are covered after any injury where the skin is broken.

Be particularly sure that children have regular tetanus injections. They are more prone to falling over and getting dirt in a wound than adults.

 

6.          Tetanus can kill you.

STUDENT ACCOMMODATION

Although your accommodation is booked for the first few days, securing your long-term accommodation will be your own responsibility. During your orientation program, the housing options available will be discussed with you and you will be advised of the various organizations where you can go for help in finding accommodation.

You may find it more convenient to obtain accommodation in the institution where you are studying. Alternatively you may prefer to rent a room in a house or flat with other students. The various types of available accommodation are listed overleaf. The cost of accommodation will vary according to the facilities provided and the location.

The types of housing available include:

             boarding houses

             shared houses or flats

             residential colleges

             rented houses or flats

Boarding houses: These are a combination of single and shared rooms which are rented out individually. There are two types of boarding houses available:

  1. Self-cooking (you do your own cooking in a communal kitchen). Cooking and eating utensils are often provided.

  2. Full board (meals are cooked for you).

    Facilities in a boarding house usually include. fully furnished room, linen, shared bathroom, gas/ electricity charges.

    Shared houses or flats: Shared accommodation is available when somebody has a spare room in their house or flat which they wish to rent. The rent and costs of gas/ electricity are shared equally between the people sharing the flat. Each person is also expected to help clean and tidy the shared living space (e.g. kitchen, bathroom, living room). People sharing a house or flat are also responsible for cleaning their own room, doing their washing and cooking their own meals.

    Residential colleges: Residential colleges are a feature of many academic institutions in Australia. The colleges are located on campus or very close to the campus and usually provide single study/bedrooms, shared bathroom, all meals and linen.

    Rented houses or flats: These are usually for a longer term. Most flats are unfurnished and do not contain any furniture except a stove, Houses are consider ably more expensive than flats, and rent varies with size, condition and location. The costs of electricity and gas are additional. When renting a house or flat you can dither sign a lease or enter into a tenancy agreement (written or verbal )with the landlord.

    Landlords and managing agents usually require tenants to lodge an amount of money as a bond. A bond is kept by the landlord (or in some States by a Bond Board) as a protection notice. If you have kept the place clean and not damaged it ,you would be entitled to have the bond refunded when you leave.

     

    Rules for Renting or Leasing

    1)          All agreements with landlords should be in writing. Make sure you fully understand any agreements before you sign.

    2)          Always inspect the place carefully before you move in and keep a list of any items that were damaged by previous tenants. This prevents problems when you claim the return of bond money.

    3)          For furnished flats, always compile a list of furniture and equipment. A copy these receipts and any agreement in a safe place. Make sure you have a receipt for any bond money you have paid.

    4)          Always get a receipt from the landlord/agent when you pay rent and keep these receipts and any agreement in a safe place. Make sure you have a receipt for any bond money you have paid.

    5)          Always give notice in writing at least one rental period before you intend moving out and retain a copy of the dated letter yourself.

    Foster Families in Rwanda

    A Sperantia Nyirantibenda Vividly recalls the night she was unceremoniously turned into a foster parent by soldiers who brought her five children and two sacks of maize. They came knocking at her door in the town of Gitarama as the civil war in Rwanda was winding down. Nyirantibenda, a 34-year-old school teacher, nervously opened the door and immediately recognised the smiling faces before her. 'I have brought you children,' one of the soldiers told Nyirantibenda this time. "I will see you later.'

     

    B The maize the soldiers left behind did not last very long, and they never came back. Nyirantibenda is still caring for the children. She says she will gladly keep them so long as she receives some assistance.

     

    C Food for the Hungry International (FHI), a US-based voluntary organization supported by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, has come in to help the school teacher. In Rwanda and Zaire, FHI supports families which have taken in orphans and lost children, as well as unaccompanied minors who have formed into groups to live together. Over 7000 people receive blankets, shelter materials and a regular supply of corn, beans and oil.

     

    D FHI originally began the program to help children separated from their families at Mugunga camp, near Goma in eastern Zaire, one month after more than a million Rwandan refugees flooded into Goma in July 1994, fleeing victorious troops of the Rwndan Patriotic Front.

     

    E An estimated 95 000 children were separated from their families during the war. Nearly half of them were inside Rwanda and the rest were in refugee camps in Zaire, Tanzania, Burundi and Uganda, which together hold more than 2.1 million refugees.

     

    F At the outset of the refugee influx into Goma, conditions in the camps were appalling. Thousands of refugees were dying every day of cholera, dysentery and other diseases. Youngsters were being picked up beside bodies lying along the roads. Starving parents were abandoning their children or sending them to centers for unaccompanied minors in the camps.

     

    G Rachel Poulton, an FHI spokes-person in Gitarama, said that during a visit to a tent for separated children, a 5-year-old girl followed her and asked for help. She said her parents were dead. The girl kept glancing over her shoulder at a woman who Poulton subsequently discovered was her mother. The woman later told Poulton she could no longer feed her daughter.

     

    H Poulton said that, over a four-day period, 184 children arrived at the tent and 16 others were brought by elders. 'There were also a lot of people fostering - mostly grandmothers and aunts. And there were sibling groups,' she said. She said that a system was developed whereby FHI supported groups of unaccompanied children.

     

    I 'The challenge was to support these children in the community rather than in institutions. This shows another way of caring,' Poulton said. She said that it was preferable for children to grow up in a family setting rather than in orphanages.

     

    J Myra Adamson, a 63-year-old nurse, born in South Africa to American missionary parents, words with care givers and foster parents living in bombed-out houses in Kigali. 'These separated children in the communities need food. They need someone to give them stability. They need someone they can turn to,' she said. 'The family would be destroyed if the children were brought to orphanages.'

     

    K While a large proportion of children - about 60 per cent - are with foster families or ad hoc groups, a large number of unaccompanied minors also turn up in orphanages, such as the redbrick compound of Saint Andrew's church at Kabgayi. Run by Abundant Life International - an organisation of former Rwandan exiles from Uganda - this orphanage was started 3 months ago and it now houses 536 children. children. The youngsters were dither brought to the institution or fetched by workers who had been informed of their location.

    L 'Soldiers would come to us to tell us where we could find children and we would to and pick them up ,' said an official. He said he himself mad packed up from nearby Kibuye prefecture where camps for displaced people had been closed .'We get groups of 60,70 children ,' he said.

    M Throughout Rwanda and Zaire, United Nations International Children's Fond (UNICEF) and several other relief organisations are mot only supporting various programs for unaccompanied minors, but are also pooling resources to help track missing relatives. As of March, over 7000 children had been reunited with their families.
