Children's Resiliency Program
Role Model for children in difficult situations
Thirty two sessions of a specially designed resiliency curriculum followed by open sharing using
Restorative Practices (problem solving) were conducted with the girls from GNFS. The
evaluation conducted by Sangath revealed that the children enhanced their skills to deal with
challenges, conflict and crisis better.
Diversion is an NGO working with the destitute children. Seven girls live in its
residential facilities and are being trained in vocational skills. They were not
interested in continuing their education and resisted all efforts to bring them back
to school.
However, an interaction with the GNFS girls and learning about their
achievements convinced the 'Diversion girls' to pursue their education.
Capacity building of teachers
A new initiative aimed at building the capacities of teachers was started. GNFS teachers attended Health
talks organized by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) on chronic diseases and Eye
screening and passed on valuable information to the students in the school.
To strengthen their skills on life skills training, Tasneem and Parveen attended a 5 day TOT (Training of
Trainers) organized by Room to Read and were taught how to conduct sessions. Tasneem also attended
another workshop organized by Room to Read on building entrepreneurial skills among girls.
An accounting workshop held by Room to Read was attended by the accountant, program coordinator of
GNFS and ED. The topics included financial and legal systems and accounting.
