SUMMARY:Celebrating Girl Child week
DESCRIPTION:Workshops to build the livelihood skills of the underprivileged girl children and women\, and street play performances are the highlights this year. \nCapacity building of victimised and underprivileged girls marked the Girl Child week celebrations by Smile Foundation this year too.

Along with this\, are several skill building workshops organised to provide livelihood skills to victimised and underprivileged girls. The workshop which started on September 19 ended on September 25. \nThe week long workshop included making of various artifacts like paper bags\, decorated pots\, anklets\, necklaces\, etc. The girls exhibited their artifacts at Lady Sriram College on September 19 and Gargi College on September 23 where the articles sell like hot cakes. “Ab hum apna khud ka kaam shuru kar sakte hain (Now we can start our own work)\,” says Snehalata\, a resident of New Ashok Nagar.
