I often see in that alot of parents do not devote enough time to maintaining an actively involved interest in the children's schoolwork and activities. So, along with giving these women advice on careers, etc, make sure that you address the importance of staying on top of their children's academic progress. This means maintaining regular communications with the teacher, looking at the work they bring home, sitting down and doing homework with them, going to the school and making sure that the administration sees the parents visible. We have to make sure that our children are doing better than "average". Going further than academics, children need to be well-rounded. So this topic also needs to stress the importance of extra-curricular activties (sports, music, arts, dance, science, technology). Some parents may not be able to afford lessons and classes, but perhaps you can point them to resources in their community that may offer enrichment without a cost.
Good luck, HoneyKiss, on your presentation. Keep up the active work in your community!
