Village Karli, Yavatmal Block, Dist. Yavatmal, Maharashtra, INDIA.Jyotsna Phulmali with her daugher Rani Phulmali, 13, at her mother's residence in Karli village, Yavatmal. A victim of child marriage herself 14 years ago, village volunteer Jyotsna Phulmali is today the face of the fight against the practice in these parts of Yavatmal block. The 29-year-old had left her alcoholic and abusive husband when their daughter was still an infant. In 2011, she underwent training conducted by UNICEF on child protection and on working with adolescent girls to equip them with life skills. She has single-handedly stopped as many as five cases of child marriage in her village of Karli since January 2013. Her most recent intervention involved none other than the Sarpanch of the village. Putting herself at great personal risk, Jyotsna boldly went to the police and filed an FIR. Yuva Vedh Manch, an NGO backed by UNICEF came out in her support. Despite JyotsnaÕs efforts, the marriage still took place. To make matters, worse goons were sent to manhandle her parents and threaten her teenage daughter. 11 suspects including the Sarpanch were arrested on charges of forging false documents, child marriage and assault. This was the first instance of arrests in a child marriage case in the district. All 11 were immediately released on bail. UNICEF organises training workshops for village volunteers in all blocks in the three districts of Jalna, Wardha and Yavatmal on a regular basis. These workshops are residential and usually span three to five days. The trainers comprise members of UNICEF's field team in each block, which includes members of local NGOs that UNICEF has tied up with. The trainers teach the volunteers about every aspect of child protection, introducing them to structures like the state government, the district council, the Village Child Protection Committee, the School Management Committee, Juvenile Justice Board and Child Welfare Committee among others..

Goducate Children’s Home
The Goducate Children’s Home takes in children from very poor, broken, and dysfunctional families. The Home provides these children with their basic physical needs in a loving, caring atmosphere, as well as a US-based home-schooling program. On top of that the children learn livelihood skills and lifeskills. The children are also taught the Khmer language to enable them to fit back into the community when they leave the Home.
The Home stands in nearly 7 hectares of land, so there is space for planting vegetables and fruit, ponds for rearing fish, and a chicken coop. These facilities enable the children to learn livelihood skills. Some of the older boys also learn basic electrical work and vehicle repair. In the process they learn lifeskills such as discipline, teamwork, and leadership skills. Leadership skills are also gained through the mentoring system by which the older children help the younger ones in their everyday routine. All these skills are intended to enable them to help not only themselves, but also others.
The children can spend their leisure time pursuing their interests in sports, music, art, or whatever else interests them. There is a basketball/badminton area in the grounds of the Home, and recently the children have been having karate lessons from a couple of volunteers

On Monday, November 25th, Governor Jack Markell, and Lt. Governor Matt Denn joined officials from the Department of Services for Children, Youth and Their Families (DSCYF/The Children’s Dept.) to announce the names of 12 organizations that have been selected to receive nearly $2.1 million dollars in after school and summer prevention program funds. The announcement was held at the Clarence Fraim Boys and Girls Club in Wilmington. The Boys and Girls Clubs of Delaware is one of the funding recipients.
The initiative to support positive prevention activities for youth was part of Governor Jack Markell’s FY 14 Budget proposal. The General Assembly supported his budget request with $2.2 million as part of DSCYF’s budget for after school programs this session. This is the second round of funding allocated under the budget initiative. In September, a small portion of the budget was distributed to 13 organizations in the form of mini grants.

How is it only day 4?! After a very busy couple months of working my butt off I think I've finally hit my wall. First weekend in quite some time that I'm not working. I took tomorrow off and am hoping to have some good outdoor time with Ethan.
I am also planning on doing some serious prep for next week so Ethan has more of a schedule.
Lifeskills 101 today was laundry, washing, drying, folding & putting away.
Working on getting an actual blog WordPress site up for my 365 posts, which I'm super excited about.
We decided we need to stock up on a few more groceries and were amazed by the empty shelves and strangeness of it all. Were happy to run into a soccer mom friend and catch up on all the things.
Pretty much everyone seems to be of the consensus that we've been locked down for months but realistically it's been a couple days. We will get used to this right? I feel the need to eat all my food supplies and Ethan wants to do all the crafts. I guess that's a lesson we need to learn. Pace ourselves, learn to slow down, enjoy the things and just let life flow as it will. *Still, round the corner, there may wait, A new road or a secret gate. – J. R. R. Tolkien

Posh Tramps follows the Longbottom family from Harpurhey, (a place recently made famous through the BBC3 documentary ‘People like us’), head of the family is Ma who has recently divorced her ‘wife’ in Hapurhey’s first ever same sex civil split, however, undeterred, and in an attempt to put that behind her Ma is now looking for a fella on the internet.
She meets Hector the Metro Link Inspector on Uniform Dating who promises her and her dysfunctional family a holiday of a lifetime …… to Chorlton … on the tram!
A hilarious look as cultures collide where Hummus of the week meets donner and chips!

Tonia Walker, associate director of athletics at Winston-Salem State University, has been named the athletic director for the program effective immediately.
"Tonia has done an outstanding job in every role she has been given within the WSSU athletics program and has a wealth of knowledge of intercollegiate athletics beyond our campus," said Chancellor Donald J. Reaves. "Having Tonia as the athletic director brings strong leadership to the program and provides stability for our players, coaches and staff. Tonia has certainly earned this opportunity and I am absolutely delighted that she is moving into this position on a permanent basis."
Walker has been serving as interim athletic director since March 1 of this year and had previously served as interim director for nearly a year in 2009. She joined the WSSU athletics staff in August 2000 as assistant director and head volleyball coach. In 2002, she resigned her coaching duties to focus on her administrative role. Walker began her career in athletics in 1993 at the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) headquarters.
As associate director of athletics, Walker was responsible for the internal operations of the department and was instrumental in fundraising efforts, the implementation of CHAMPS/Lifeskills programming, the Rams leadership Academy and other initiatives that supported the development of the student athletes and the athletics staff.
Walker has served on numerous committees both nationally and for the university, including serving in various positions with the CIAA and serving on the NCAA Division II Membership Committee. She is currently a member of the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletic Administrators (NACWAA) and of the Minority Opportunities Association, as well as the Black College Coaches and Administrators Association.
Named the CIAA Senior Woman Administrator for 2003-2004 and 2005-2006, Walker was one of eight participants from throughout the country selected for the NCAA Fellows Leadership Development Program. She is a graduate of the NACWAA HERS Institute and Executive Institute and was the 2008 recipient of the NACWAA Nell Jackson Award given annually to an athletic administrator who is a strong leader and an advocate for gender equity.
Walker earned a B.A. degree with honors in speech and language disorders from Hampton University and her M.S. degree in sports management from old Dominion University. While at Hampton, Walker was a two-sport athlete, playing both basketball and softball.

Occupational Therapy Clinical Interns
If you haven't heard of Occupational Therapy (often called OT by insiders), occupational therapists work to develop, recover, or maintain the daily living and work skills of their patients with a physical, mental or developmental condition.
Occupational Therapists often collaborate with clinicians from other disciplines, including medicine, nursing, social work, among others.
For many of our clients coming in off the streets, living independently presents many challenges that you might take for granted. For example, developing a menu plan for the week, shopping for groceries, learning how to keep food from going bad, or how to organize your living space might be something you learned growing up. OT steps into that role for our clients, aiding them in navigating the many new problems they face.
Now imagine how much harder this can be with those who also struggle with mental illness...not easy, right?
Our students are with us doing the psychiatric rotation of their training, and they come from the Masters in Science program in Occupational Therapy at Columbia University. Their enthusiasm and helpful trainings don't just help clients, they help the students to gain a knowledge of how the least served in our community can benefit from this useful discipline!
So get to know our summer interns--and reach out to us if you want to know more!
