Sambhali: the past few weeks

Peace in every center

This month on 21st of September, we had a special workshop program in every center from the Sambhali Trust. This day was the International Peace Day, declared by the United Nations. Therefore, the volunteers talked about the meanings of piece with the women. Beginning with the common symbol of a white dove or a globe, which is held by human hands, the ideas became very creative. So, the single word piece doesn´t seem to only implement freedom, no war or harmony, in fact peace also meant to the women to lead a free and independent life, to have a chance of education and equality among every human being. On the other hand, some students found their peace in their daily life, for example by learning how to make the perfect chapati or to spend time with their friends and families.
Every center drew some posters for this event, which turned out very bright and various.

The third prize went to the Jodhpur EC
According to Women's Welfare Day the Sambhali Trust collaborated with the Department of Social Justice and Empowerment (SJE) in Jodhpur to celebrate on 5th of October. Chief Guest of the program was Dr. Vishnu Charan Malik (H'ble District Collector, Jodhpur).









The show was opened by some girls from the Boarding home, singing two songs for the audience. Despite the nervousness of the students, the show was very impressive, since every center had prepared an own performance.
Several women of each center took part in a dancing competition with amazing traditional dances. Moreover, the students had the possibility to participate in a drawing or henna competition. In the end, those who had succeeded in having the best performance or the best drawing, got an award. Sambhali´s supporters were felicitated and some of them had prepared speeches for the audience.

The second prize went to the Brothers for Sisters EC
But the funniest part of the show must have been the European volunteers singing "We shall overcome" in Hindi. empowerment and afterwards everybody was offered some refreshments outside of the auditorium. All in all, the program was a great success and the audience enjoyed it.

And the Abhivyakti-EC received the first prize
