In view of the Child Protection Policy the Child Protection Committee (CPC) on 5th June took the initiative of creating awareness among the school students by inviting Fr. Arvind Severes and Fr. Joe Fernandes SDB as resource persons. Both of them conducted sessions for students of Std. VIII and Std. IX and X respectively. Both the priests are in charge of the Don Bosco CPP in their Province.
Each of them highlighted the importance of POCSO and the JJ Act and Rights of children. They also made them aware of their duties as children and how to avoid being victims of sexual abuse by speaking it out, telling some adult about it and other important guidelines. The students were very attentive during the sessions as they were shown videos and powerpoint presentations during the sessions.
We are very grateful to Fr. Arvind and Fr. Joe for their prompt response in accepting our invite and their availability in spending their precious time creating awareness among the students and preparing them to protect themselves from every kind of abuse.
