Contact Admin. Your support has helped these girls to stay in education last academic year. A new academic year has already started mid June and we are looking to you again for helping these and more girls to continue their education for one more year. Many girls like Seema and Afrin are excited that they are going to continue their education thanks to your support. One more year in high school means postponement of marriage for most of these girls. Additional social capital and new skills acquired means they can be more productive citizens in future.
GlobalGiving has created this wonderful opportunity where every dollar you donate goes further as they are matching every dollar given by you on June bonus day. Bonus day is 25 June It has been a fun-filled summer for girls here at Vacha. This is the time when schools have vacations for almost two months. Many girls participating in Vacha programmes are migrants, so during the summer vacations, they travel to their villages and spend time with their relatives.
Those who remained with us had lot of fun in workshops and special events. One such activity we had was art and craft workshops in schools and communities right after the year-end exams.
Girls were in the mood to relax after their hectic exam schedules and these workshops were an enjoyable experience. Some of them learnt to create ornaments like earrings and hand bracelets using paper, others learnt the art of origami and some girls used their artistic skills to make posters about their rights.
Cricket is much loved throughout the country and it is no different for our girls. They are not allowed to play out door games after they reach puberty, but they follow the matches on t. All the girls were hugely excited when they got to know of this opportunity to attend a live match. All the participating girls were given team t-shirts, caps, and a bag of cricket-themed goodies. Girls in the bastis are not usually allowed to wear t-shirts, so most of them wore them on their Indian clothes.
