On A Role


Animation students drawings
Today I managed to visit another 2 project sights! St. Johns vocational training centre and child line. The training centre although a school is incredibly different to the one I visited yesterday. It has more in common to apprenticeships schemes in the UK. 
The pupils around 300, are aged from 14 to around 22 and are taught the theory as well as been able to practice the

practical aspect of the subject on sight. The courses provided vary from, beauty and animation to electronics and engineering. But all the courses are tailored to the demand in the market so those on offer can change for year to year. This centre provides a really good opportunity forthose less academic to make something of themselves, and after completing the course there are placements available that the Brotherhood has organised, or if graduates  wish they can find their own placement. However one major problem faced by this sight is that it is set up on rented ground so when the lease expires what will become of it is unknown but Farther Monodeep seemed fairly confident that it would just change location. Next I was show to the child line centre which the Brotherhood is one of the main benefactors for. This particular centre covers the north east area of Delhi and runs on a very similar system to the child line in the UK, but it was good to see that this kind of help was available to those who needed it and also good to hear that it is used with the centre reviving around 50 calls a day.
