Educational Counselling at CRPF Camp Dwarka
“Are women in defence organisations safe and empowered ? This is a prime question which is revolving in any ‘patriotic’ human being from 200+ countries round the globe, who does have an interest in defense studies! History always questioned about back home psychology of defence personals. They safeguard the living beings of a country, does anyone think about empowering their families, though government just bestow them with some ‘extra luxuries’!
Given that, in the above para we were not discussing about the unfortunate Widows and the mighty kids of the brave jawans who sacrifice their life for our safety!
However Helping Brainz took an opportunity to help and empower the Women and Kids from Defense Organisations in India, without considering what Government is doing or not doing for them! Helping Brainz in association with HCLT Foundations geared a ‘Women Empowerment’ mission for the enthusiastic women and kids of Central Resource Police Force, Dwarka Unit [women here meant are the a). Members of women battalion b). Wives and Widows and c). Children of CRPF personals].
Today we conducted an educational counselling session for the parents, children from various age groups, wherein we talked about Career aspects, educational courses, opportunities, need for higher education, women empowerment etc.
The two hour event was anchored and led by Shubhangi Srivastava (a young changemaking Helping Brainz Women Empowerment Project Leader, also 1st year forensic science student at Amity University, Noida), the event was managed by Pratik Raj Bishen (a young changemaking Helping Brainz Women Empowerment Project Leader, also 2nd year BBM student at IMS, Noida ) and Avinash Tiwari ( a Helping Brainz teammate from ModiNagar, UP). Also present was Sanjay Deb Sir, who shared his life experiences and took a session on women empowerment, also present were Ambika P Menon(an educationist), Vineeth Psethu ( a social worker) and Yedhu.
Something which made today’s event more special!
Though I started Helping Brainz in Aug 2012, my mother attended a Helping Brainz event for the first time today, which made me the happiest man on the earth, since she’s the reason for the Helping Brain in me. – Yedhu
