The volunteers’ training program was held on Wed 26th Nov. The group trained the volunteers in coaching and officiating to ensure there was consistency across all schools. We intend to roll out a coaching programme in December working with churches (schools are closed) and have a fun day where the kids can come together.
​
We also want to have adolescent boys and girls attend the fun day and have a forum where they will be talked to separately on morality, education (huge numbers of school dropouts here), boy-girl relationships, early pregnancies, initiation rites etc by some of the successful men and women around. Hopefully it makes a difference. The training day was very successful by any scale.

We invited 16 school coaches and teachers to attend a training session to ensure everyone was coaching NDT in a similar way. This is the same group of schools who are taking part in our BEDARI (Awareness) http://www.bedari.org.pk/ programme.

Netball was about to die in this region and the whole country except very rare institutions so we are very happy to introduce it again.
​
The group agreed to hold a tournament in January for the 16 schools; they are all girls’ schools and we will work with girls between 13 and 17.
