Testimonials
“I really enjoyed role-plays and activities. I wish that everyone co-operate with each other. The sessions helped me be more confident.”
Aini Shaikh
Student, Grade 8
“I liked role plays, activities and stories in the session. I wish we had more time to do SEL. If I cry so I said to myself it is normal emotions are uncontrollable and that emotions keep changing”
Khadija Mansuri
Student, Grade 9
“I wish we do role play in everyday class. One thing that impacted in my life is the character strength in which I like kindness and I am kind to my cousin sister”
Saniya Shaikh
Student, Grade 7
“I observed some girls who were previously very shy and reluctant to talk to their peers now had a lot more confidence and were able to express themselves. Seeing this transformation and the happiness of the students was extremely gratifying and humbling.”
Shravya Shriwal
Facilitator, CounSEL Team
“With the help of these constructive sessions, they were able to open up, share, discuss their thought processes freely and frequently without any hesitation. In the last session, looking at their sad faces it seemed they will miss these sessions as they also promised to apply them which they learnt.”
