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.
Village Karli, Yavatmal Block, Dist. Yavatmal, Maharashtra, INDIA.
Rani Phulmali 13, stand inside at her grand 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..
