We would be sharing from today our
experiences we had during programs
conducted by srishitlife, we are posting her work as it would create a view about
child sex abuse that is critical.
Every day we would be giving one
critical point that would give access to understand your child that your child
and even you may not know.
Normally we as parents never ever
create with the child a domain called conversation about private part even
privately maybe because even we are uncomfortable in addressing it, Dr.Raji
used to say that in every program we conducted the children don’t even know the
name in their mother tongue in a respectful way.
All of us know the name either by a kiddish name like peepee
choo choo , abusive slang or very insignificant way!. Pause for a moment and
Think if abuse is happening to a child, How do you think he is going to communicate?
therefore mother tongue is more appropriate for early teaching of body parts, look
into google translate if you are not sure !! knowing the right answer would
mean half the job is done.
We will share one story everyday, and today we are going to
share one of the programs we conducted!!
This was at vasco deep vihar school and it had a huge hall.
The management wanted us to conduct 3 sessions and we had less time as we had
to go to cana cona which is situated at the other end of Goa for another
Program. 
Dr.Raji told that she will manage. It was huge hall with 1800 children
+ staff. They told us the mike system would not be good enough for
the hall, Dr.Raji said she will manage.
She started the program and Alas the
power went off. They said wait for 5 mins then 10 mins. Then they told power
might not come we have to cancel.
I looked at Dr.Raji
and that smile which she gave when she is faced with a challenge. Wow. That is
when all of us gear up like the Last over of India-Pakistan match.
She created an
immense responses by asking children to take responsibility to listen to the Sound
of her name tag when dropped, the children and we really understood that day.(the
meaning of pin drop silence).
She did it.
The program went on as Dr.Raji got down from the stage and moved towards the center of the hall and continued to talk.It was mind blowing
The children gave her a promise to be
responsible for their body. I still remember when children and all of us closed
our eyes and promised.
Dr.Raji was never an emotionally driven person but i saw
tears rolled down her cheek and all of us too where moved. This program
happened to be the last one she did just before she went for that critical operation/treatment.
We all pray for the blessing of the almighty for her speedy
recovery
