Spring 2008: Update from Sanghamitra Service Society, Andhra Pradesh, India

In our project ‘Improving the Education and Health of Children and Communities in Andhra Pradesh’, each of our five local partners have established Children’s Parliaments. The children in each Supplementary Education Centre elected a Speaker, a Prime Minister, a Home Minister, a Health Minister, a Finance Minister and an Education Minister. This is a new concept to improve the leadership skills and social responsibilities of the children attending our Supplementary Education Classes.
