I also engaged them in extracurricular activities such as classical Indian dance, origami and outdoor games.

I frequently diffused tensions between the children and taught them to resolve these conflicts with more understanding, and that it can be without their use of violence. I worked with their strengths and weaknesses that helped them to empower themselves, have a better sense of self, and also get along with each other harmoniously in the shelter. Show more Show less
