I got associated with Y. R.

I joined YRG CARE in 2015 to work with adolescents and children in schools and colleges to provide them with Lifeskills Education. I worked for Endrum Punnagai (ever smiling) – a project of YRG CARE that aims to provide life skills education for disadvantaged boys and girls studying in government schools in Chennai, South India. I have experience of more than 5 years in training teachers, women, youth, and adolescents.

My last innovative work is an interactive psychosocial program called Camp Rainbow for Children living with HIV. I've worked as a project associate for India Partnership Initiative (IPI) supported by Serious Fun Children’s Network to provide camp experiences for children living with HIV and other serious illnesses.
