National Children's Council

The semi annual World Vision National Children's Council meeting was held on Saturday for the 60 representatives of the council, which includes two members of the Self Help Group (SHG), to discuss which qualities are needed to become a good leader. The two members of the SHG, both with speech and hearing impairments participated actively in the discussion showing great strength of character to interact with the other 60 children. Infact, when they spoke, all of the children on the council listened much more intently than they did to other speakers. Their ideas were often followed by rounds of applause and their strength and positive character shined through to make them really a part of the group. The activities that the SHG have been working on have been great for their self confidence, and it was a positive sign to see all of the members of the council interacting with respect for each other.
