Manager Vera

Vera is a young woman from Dixcove, the neighbouring village to Busua. Vera got acquainted with Peace Home through a neighbour who told her about the project. 
After coming to the Christmas/New Year party in 2020 and showing her passion for and skills in working with children with disabilities, she joined the team. Aside from that, her passion and strong personality make for a go-getter who knows how to get things done and has strong organisational skills.  
Therefore she got the managing position. She makes sure Peace Home keeps moving forward and the day-to-day work continues.

The Head Caretaker

Marcus 

Marcus has been with Peace Home from the very beginning. Starting out as a Food Sharer when Peace Home didn't have it's own location yet. The children who were then members of Peace Home received a meal a day at home plus some love and attention of course.
Marcus is now Head Caregiver at Peace Home, ensuring the work the Care-Givers do, goes smoothly and in the best interest of all the individual members with special needs. He shows the utmost respect to every individual and knows quite a few of the children the best and longest as he had been working with Peace Home for all these years. 

Marcus also resides at Peace Home to take care of the animals and ensure the place is neat and secured at all times. 

The Caretakers

Juliana & Sylvia & Thomas

​

When the day-centre officially opened in March 2022, it was time to employ more caregivers to take care of the children with special needs. First Sylvia and Juliana joined the team. They are natives from Busua who initially had no experience in teaching or working with children with special needs. When you see them with the children now, you would never guess. They now how to  make them laugh and calm them down when necessary but most importantly how to make them feel at home and heard. 

Later on, Thomas from Dixcove joined the team. A very calm and respectful young man whom Vera already knew. He has some experience in teaching but wanted something different than regular education. He fits in perfectly at Peace Home. His nephew is also one of the members at Peace Home and they come together every day.

The Janitor

Phyllis

Phyllis has also been with Peace Home for a long time. She firstly took over the job as Food Sharer from a previous team member. When the day-centre was completed, Phyllis role changed to become the janitor. Keeping the day-centre clean and tidy is very important. She als knows exaclty where everything is kept and is the first to open up and last to lock up the day-centre every day. 

Aside from these tasks, Phyllis knows the children well and helps the care-givers out a lot. 

The Teaching Assistant

Edbert

Edbert, also known as 'teacher', has known Peace Home for a long time and would always say he wanted to join the team as soon as Peace Home was ready to start teaching. 

Edbert is from Busua and has taught at the public school in the village. He also has a degree in art and has given art work shops to the children before. 

Teacher is always the first to arrive in the morning and does a great job of assisting Isaac. 

His joy in being at Peace Home is vibrant and contagious.

The Cooking Aunties

Dora, Elizabeth and Rebecca

One of the essential activities of Peace Home, is providing all the members with a nutritious meal every day for them to feel strong and healthy.
For this to be possible, three respected ladies from Busua became part of the team. They were part of the team even before Peace Home had its own kitchen. They now cook in the kitchen on-site, including vegetables from Peace Home's own garden. Once a month we go to the market to buy all the essentials for the Aunties to cook the fresh meals daily. 

Gardener & Land Caretaker 

Mr. Moses

​

Mr. Moses started out by voluntering at Peace Home around the opening ceremony in 2022.  He is from Busua and loved being here and helping the children so much that he would come daily. It became evident that his help was much appreciated by the team and that Mr Moses' calm and peaceful energy are perfect when working with the members of Peace Home. 

Later Mr. Moses showed interest in taking over the job as a gardener. We had been looking for a new gardener for a long time without success. Mr. Moses turned out to know quite a lot about farming. 

The Rehabilitation Therapist 

Hilda​

When we were looking for new employees after the opening ceremony. A neighbour in Busua told us about a family member who had experience in working with children with special needs as a rehabilitation officer. We didn't know much about what that exactly entailed but it soon became apparent that the skills Hilda has are more than we could wish for from one person.

Hilda does physiotherapy, makes rehabilitation plans, nutrition plans and more. She is also very creative (into fashion and beauty) and shows this in her work. She always finds new ways to help the children physically develop on all levels. 
Aside from that, the children love her. The trust-filled bonds she develops with them have great positive effects on the progress the children make.
