Child club members demonstrated their potential expression skills through sticking their tiny writing pieces in public walls in seven selected slums in Brahmapur city.
In this edition, the children decided to focus on sanitation issues like open defecation and public toilet situations. Community leaders inaugurated these pieces in their respective slums with a gathering of slum communities.
The wall magazine is named as “Amma Kahuchhu Aama Katha” published at Ambapua Bauri Street, Gramdevati Bauri Street, lanjipali Goudabandh Street, Raghupati Nagar Canal Huda Street, Jagannath Nagar and KhodasingI New Bauri street. The magazine has been publishing once in each month in all focused slums.
It is noted that, the Youth for Social Development (YSD) has been working with more than 2,000 children in 30 slums in Brahmapur city since 2012. The YSD is able to form 27 child clubs and a city level children’s federation. The children are engaged in doing a variety of activities in their neighbourhood. City level children’s federation members have been discussing about their slum level issues and physical environment from time to time.
Child club members such as Bala Das, Smruti Sahu, Suraj Das, Rinky Patra, Suprava Das, Banita Das, Sadhu Das Amit Kumar Das, Pabitra Sahu and Nandini Sethi took active participation and from YSD Abhiram Kanhar and Chandan Sahu facilitated the child federation members to make wall magazine.
