A hastily put together Wenlido workshop for 11 Anganwari workers from district Chamba was held in December, organised by Deepa who had met Minakshi, an Anganwari teacher from Sihunta during one of our health camps with Dr. Kusum. Keen to learn, they picked up the techniques quickly and spent up to 9.0 in the evening discussing. Our trainers felt this was a very fulfilling workshop as these women work in very remote villages where there is a lot of violence and confusion about what is and what is not acceptable behavior, especially within families. They were very grateful saying: “We are new women now! We are not the same as when we came. Now we are fearless and confident”.
