The world is one and it is yours, mine, everyones. Our beloved world will be ours.

“I never participated in such training before. So, it was new experience to me. We, especially the children usually take decisions emotionally. So, sometimes we take wrong decisions. Along with that, many times we get into fights with each other. We don’t think about the consequences. We have come to know how we can communicate properly, can settle disagreement etc. We did group discussions, group works in the training, so could understand everything easily. We also had lot of fun games. I believe this training will help us to change our thoughts & actions. Thanks to ActionAid for arranging such training for us", one of the participants of LSBE (Life Skill Based Education) training, Shefali (16-year-old) expressed her view.
