He also provided aptitude test-taking methods and conducted a mock interview. Thanks to Mr. Ramesh for helping our students prepare for careers after WEP!

Hello friends! I am from Kadapa. I am studying ix class. I am also a student of W.E.P. program. I am attending W.E.P Classes regularly. I missed only two classes. Those two days also, because I had severe fever. W.E.P Classes are very interesting and useful. We learn many new things here. W.E.P classes are from 6.00Pm to 8.00Pm every day. We study Academic subjects and also we are learning Computers, Communication skills and English grammar. Sometimes we do book reading and storytelling also. Saturdays, activities like Quiz, Group discussion, spell bee, Just a Minute (JAM), Poems recitation are held. I like Quiz because we know about the world. Spell bee and poems recitation also I like. Spell bee is very interesting. When spell bee competitions conducted so many students participated. I also participated. It was so good. But I like Quiz so much. Our Computer teacher teaches very well. Till now, we learnt Note pad, Word pad, M.S paint, Display setting and now learning typing. Bonnie akka (sister) workshops were very interesting. We discussed domestic harassment, street harassment, child rights, and gender discrimination. She told us how to fight against street harassment. If there is no street harassment, it is very good and we will be very happy and no fear. We all WEP student took part in National girl child day celebration. in Essay writing, Elocution (both in English and Telugu) and Drawing competitions were held. I got only two prizes I participated in sports completions also. But I did not get any prizes. My friend got many prizes. I participated in the dance program performed on the girl child day. Two songs were special for that day. We danced for those songs. Sandhyamma and all other people liked our dance very much. We performed this song again on 26th January, in Kalaskhetram (Kadapa city functional hall).We got first prize for our dancing. I am so happy. We discuss many things in W.E.P classes. One day we discussed gynecological problems. we had many doubts. We also went to Dr.Varalaskhmi‘s (gynecologist) Clinic. We asked her so many questions about gynecological problems. She answered all our questions patiently. I like W.E.P Classes so much. We study well and also learn so many other things here. This is all what I say. Thank you and bye. Your U.S.D

News from our newest center in Kadapa: Students recently attended a women’s health workshop led by Dr. Vara Lakshmi, a senior gynecologist in Kadapa. As at many of our workshops, Dr. Lakshmi’s Q+A was a chance for students to ask personal health questions in a safe environment. Thank you Dr. Lakshmi for giving our students this great opportunity!

40 students at WEP’s Madurai center attended several career oriented workshops on February 23, including Resume Writing (taught by a WEP volunteer from the U.S.), and Goal-Setting. We’re thrilled they are thinking about and preparing for careers after WEP!
