On the evening of 16 March, we started the NCP training for ‘Children’s Parliament’. Children from Pansora Centre, Gandhinagar and Dakor Centre were present. Sr. Anita Tairipascu from Gandhinagar, Sr. Savita Parkhe from Dakor along with the tuition teachers gathered at Pansora for the training. Sr. Shaila D’Monte along with the social workers and tuition teachers animated the two days of training of the NCP. Sr. Nayana Vankar, Sr. Gracy Thomas, animator of Pushpanjali, Dakor, and the community Sisters were present for the inaugural programme. The day was packed with sessions, games, action songs and the like. Sr. Nayana gave the traditional ‘Goodnight’ as how they could become efficient leaders. The children danced to the beat of the Garbha and later screened the Hindi film Nayak.
On the following day the children rose in the morning and after morning prayers and breakfast resumed the programme of the second day. Awareness was created by the session on Human Trafficking. The children also had a leader chosen who would voice out their problems. The day came to a close at 4,00 pm. The past pupils day was animated by Sr. Sunita Dabhi. They viewed motivational videos and discussed them.
