Adolescent Awareness Seminar was held for the fourth time on the 1st of June 2025.
41 Adolescents’ or Kishor and Kishories participated. It was the best organized awareness seminar of the season in Kasiadih. The youth like Arman Soren who finished his teacher’s training at TTC and Santosh Soren who has finished his secretarial training at VTI from Birakhap did the initial survey of Birakhap and Birgodda and ensured that every Adolescent between the ages of 12years to 1 year participates this time in this Seminar. As a follow-up of the last three seminars the two youth organized a two hour session on the 29th May 2025 where those who had attended the last seminars and others were invited for an open book exam of what they got as key messages. (Notebooks that the adolescents were provided which they used to make notes for themselves) Three questions were given to them: How many awareness seminars you have attended? What knowledge did you gain? What learning’s are you practicing?
On the 1st June adolescents from Kasiadih participated they were contacted by Ravi Hansda one of the youth who teaches children. Bhadurlatwa adolescents were contacted by Brajesh Soren and Sunil Soren. Anamika Hansda one of the youth who teaches children in Kasiadih helped to prepare the place for the seminar like putting mats, cleaning the hall and getting the writing boards ready.The three youth who are farmers Raju Hansda; Katilal Hansda and Anup Tigga and are supported by the Kfb project organized the food for the children and the adults who participated.
Reflection: The adolescents’ showered interest in knowing their heights and weights and it was found that out of the 70+ adolescents who participated in this awareness seminar only 4 adolescents had normal BMIs. The rest needed to increase weight and heights to get to normal. Around 19 adolescents participated in all four Awareness seminars held so far in Kasiadih area.
Adolescents’ training and review 2024
CASS for the first time started adolescent seminars for boys and girls together. A total of 273 adolescents have benefitted from the awareness seminars. In an age of Mobiles it is amazing to see these adolescents participating so peacefully and comfortably without looking at their Mobiles for a good six hours. They seem to like it and want it as they show deep interest and ask questions. The questions are about their concern for good health.Sample text. Click to select the Text Element.
This is what some of them shared after the seminar:
“If only I had known this before I wouldn’t have taken so many bottles of intravenous fluids”
“If I had known this before I wouldn’t have wasted so much money on creams for my face from the market”
