Monitoring Visit to Dhanushadham

We visited our training center in Dhanushadham this month to monitor Batch C developments and challenges. Batch C is now towards the end of their training period and identification of their plans and engagements is important to support what livelihood options they wish to pursue. 

During the monitoring visit, we also had an opportunity to carry out a needs assessment for the new batch of Tailoring and Mithila Art training. We were also able to meet with the local stakeholders and discuss our work during the visit. 

Capacity Building
This month we conducted a workshop on Social Skills for the 11 children of Hakuna Matata. We are currently in Year 3 of the 5 years engagement with the children. The workshop in January was designed with an aim to support the children in understanding emotions and reactions, and problem identification.

The training was done in support of Sutra for Leaders to upskill the facilitators personal as well as professional capacity. The workshop focused on managing large classrooms, psychosocial self-care and others, using community as a resource, resource plan, monthly and weekly planning and so on.

Stationery Distribution 

A second round of stationery distribution was conducted at the learning center for the 250 children this month as well. The stationery materials are distributed every month to ensure that children have access to all the necessary resources required to learn.
