Impact:
We are the only NGO in Maharashtra to present an award to the best anganwadi sevika. At the Women's Day function 2012, the honorable Minister deeply appreciated our initiative and commended the spirit of empowering anganwadi sevikas. Through this award, she in turn honored the same anganwadi sevika on behalf of Maharashtra government. This is a true example of empowering the government to act.
Ramesh, a boy of standard VI, at one of the municipal schools was a problem child. It seemed that Ramesh was facing a communication problem and could not write correctly. His teachers complained that his homework was never complete and he was a naughty child. Once the child was referred to the LIFE Trust counselor addressed the problem and devised a remediation strategy for him. As part of this plan, 23 sessions were conducted where the child was counseled and taught with the help of a play-way method. She also counseled his teachers to positively reinforce desired behavior. After a completion of all the remediation sessions, a post test was taken that revealed that Ramesh had improved in Maths and English and he was able to complete his homework on time. Ramesh was now an improved child who had found the motivation to learn. This is an example of how LIFE Trust used a remediation strategy to bring about reform.
