Students for kids
The students of the hilly region in Nawalparasi are conducting different programmes to create public awareness on child rights and to encourage children for creative participation in every aspect of society. They have established many clubs for children in the school and in their community. They are also planning to act as a pressure group on different issues like household violence, child exploitation and child marriages by reporting to District Child Welfare Board and Child Clubs District Coordination Board. These clubs have also taken up the initiative to stop schoolchildren from taking up filthy habits like smoking. Besides, they will also organise awareness programmes for children on hygiene. — Pradeep Bashyal , Class IX, Sayapatri English High School
