This year, Children of Ghoraghat celebrated Child Rights Week through different activities. This time, they focused on street drama presentation as through this, the image of the society can be beautifully displayed and can leave a mark on people's minds easily that no medium can so. So, they decided to portray the image & problems of their area through a street drama.

"I have participated in three days of child journalism development training held with Trinamool journalist members. By attending this training, I learned about 5w and 1H, while writing a news report it is very important to note these 5- W's and 1- H's and include them in the report. I am now more confident to write reports. By participating in this training, I now know about child journalism. Along with this, I learned more about the importance of education. The impact of three-days long training is more to me. I have made myself more motivated by participating in this training and I will try to share these learning points with all the children of the Child Journalist Team in the coming days. The training learning will be also very helpful in my studies", said by Sai Sainu Marma (16)

A child from the drama group Meem (15) said, “while developing the drama script, we were not aware of but after finishing we realized every character of the community has a role to prevent child marriage and we can effectively fit the roles. Along with the parents and community leader, neighbor the role I played has a great responsibility and can positively or negatively tackle child marriage situations.”

Most of the people at some point of their lifetime or other in childhood have gone on picnics. Some may do in small scale with neighbors, cousins, or friends, some may have just gone on excursions from their educational institutions and others with more adventurous parents would probably have gone on outings with parents or family friends. Whatever the reason or form may have been, I think all of us can agree that can’t deny that picnics are immense fun. Picnic is the perfect opportunity to bond with people, to socialize and have fun at the same time. Considering this in mind, community at Local Rights Programme (LRP) 54, Shyamnagar organized a picnic at their community to celebrate Child Rights Week 2022. ActionAid Bangladesh (AAB) has started its work with child sponsorship in this year, 2022.

Aysha (13), the Player of the Match of Handball said, “This is the first time I played Handball. I practiced for 11 days and per day I gave 2 hours for this. We used to practice in a school field and teachers at that school allowed us to use that field and even gave us guidance on playing Handball. My team players and I did not know any rules of this sport, but we get inspiration from family, teachers, and ActionAid. I became the best player, and my father is more excited about this. I want more of this kind of opportunity to play.”

With the view of having a safer world, ActionAid Bangladesh recently had taken the initiative of tree plantation in LRP-53, Lalmonirhat, and LRP-54, Shyamnagar in October 2022.
