Fixing It Together
My name is Tempu Nefertari and this is my life work. For over 30 years I've been helping parents nurture positive relationships with their children and supporting them in living their best lives. A great part of my self-esteem work was done with children in schools and communities through Omololu -The Children's Foundation which I founded in Barbados in 2002. I worked with children & families affected & infected with HIV/AIDS, gifted children inclusive of those on the autism spectrum and with the range of attention deficit challenges in Barbados, Trinidad and the United States. No work with children is complete without working with teachers and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to train teachers in the Nefertari Re-Ma'at Approach for Building Self-Esteem in Children of Afrikan Descent. I've had the privilege of training and conducting workshops with teachers from across the Caribbean, the US, the UK and Afrika.
I am aware that I showed care and concern for children from the early age of 9, but it was confirmed as my life purpose in a life-changing vision I had at 19 where children called out to me from abandoned houses, caves and abusive homes to save them. This vision led me to work with the Save the Children Foundation founded in the UK by Kes Liqua Mimiran Zacharias and to start work on my self-esteem approach which had its early beginnings at a community-based school - the All in One Center- in Beetham Trinidad & Tobago. My work with families and children has benefitted from my qualifications and work in Agriculture, Law, Education, Pan-Afrikanism and as a Human Rights Activist. I am the mother of two, one of whom keeps watch over us from the heavenly realm.
