Working with Women in Punjab

On the occasion of the new year, at our newly established Fatehgarh Centre on the border of Pakistan, we invited the mothers of our 100+ students and other women to learn about menstrual health. Based on questions raised by some of the mothers, the discussion also focussed on their concerns for their children’s wellbeing, and ways that we can assist them to help their children to make good life choices, to understand the difference between right and wrong, and to not fall pray to peer pressure and bad company in a community where drugs and alcohol are easily accessible.

At the meeting we also blessed the women with a small gift which they were delighted to receive.
