"The life skills training was fantastic. I specially enjoyed the activities and the trainers were very jolly and provided us with encouragement. This further motivated me to participate and give answers. Learning first-aid and financial literacy has made me feel more independent and capable. Learning about safety apps and how to use technology to stay safe was very useful. I feel more secure knowing I have these tools at my disposal." Rajashree, Sathalka 2, Bhiwadi

"The sessions on situational awareness were very insightful, I saw something like this for the first time. Nobody has ever spoken to me about my safety and how I need to be aware of my surroundings. I now pay more attention to my surroundings and feel more prepared to handle different situations." Sanjana, Milakpur, Bhiwadi
