Students have completed their Half yearly exams some time back. The support received from gracious donors makes it possible for us to do another 4 school events.
Between October to December 2018, 4 events are planned covering 200 students of 4 villages - 2 in tribal districts and 2 in coastal districts of Gujarat.
These events are planned this time with a special focus to identify the challenges faced by special needs students and to map if there are any special needs children not attending school due to sanitaton related challenges.
Issues like important aspects of cleanliness (Hand-washing -after defecation, before and after meals, regular bathing and maintaining short nail length), how this helps in staying away from infection and disease and what steps to keep in mind - will be taken up.
Drawing competition with relevant topics in the events are planned to make it fun for children.
We are hoping these events will get the ball rolling and build some stuednt leadership, who can then advocate for better sanitation & hygiene related needs at the family and Panchayat level.
