ActionAid always helped me and my family to overcome difficult situations and this time also helped me by providing tuition facilities. A teacher taught us two months before the final examination. I have also planned for future and want to be a police officer.”

Unueshayang (17) thought her dreams got shattered when she could not sit for the secondary school certificate (SSC) examination in 2021 due to not having the preparation. Lack of guidance is the most common challenge that children living in hill tracts mostly suffer in completing education. Unueshayang’s father tried to give her daughter the best opportunity but could not arrange tuition for her. After knowing this, ActionAid extended mentoring support for Unueshayang and she finally appeared in the SSC exam 2022 where she successfully passed the examination.

"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)
