Meeting with UNICEF!!

I had a meeting with members of Unicef in the High Court Jodhpur on the 31st August 09 to discuss ways in which Sambhali Trust has helped to prevent child marriages.

On 1st September Mme Sulagna Roy, Education Specialist, Sanjay Minala, Child-Protection and Mme Anuradha Chandran Maharishi Communication Specialist, all from the Rajasthan main office in Jaipur came to visit Sambhali Trust and the 2 sewing centres that have just opened. They were very interested in the work we are doing and they discussed how they would like to take the message of women’s empowerment and independence out into the villages and how Sambhali Trust may be able to help them in this respect. We thank Unicef for taking the trouble to come and visit our centre and hope that we are able to work with them in future to convey this message to a wider number of women and girls in this area of Rajasthan.
