Oct 27: The Bethany Educational Society in collaboration with Social Axiom Foundation organised a seminar on Children against Child Abuse (CACA) for the Principals and the teachers of Mangalore and Udupi schools on 26 October 2018 at St Theresa’s School, Bendur, Mangalore. The workshop began invoking God’s Blessings with the prayer song by the students of St Theresa’s School Choir. The programme was conducted by Mr Pradeep, an NGO activist who gave information about how to make child safe and happy. He gave a lot of information on the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO ACT). He also said that free and legal aid to children and women are given at all levels irrespective of their gender, social, economic, religious background and finally told us to adopt 10 Life Skills implemented by WHO.
Sr Marriette, the Secretary of the Bethany Educational Society welcomed the gathering and Mrs Janice Saldanha proposed the vote of thanks. The programme was a grand success with more than 50 Schools actively and enthusiastically participating in the seminar
