Water, Environment and Sanitation ProjectUNICEF Chennai funded Nalamdana to train about 100 village volunteers (young men and women) through 2008 and 2009 in the Krishnagiri District of Tamilnadu, which is one of the backward regions in our state. These trained teams performed plays in their village taluks from August through December 2009. In connection with the previous theatre training and performances, UNICEF had requested Nalamdana do a short term project (September to December 2010) addressing the same WES issues focusing on the Thally block of the Krishnagiri District. During the first week of September the Nalamdana team made a pre visit to Thally block, Krishnagiri District. They had a meeting with the Block Development Officers and the Cultural team members of the Krishnagiri Cultural Society at the Thally Panchayat office to plan and discuss the refresher theatre training and the 50 theatre performances, which were to be staged at the 50 Pancahyat villages of the Thally block. |  Refresher Theatre TrainingFrom 20th to 23rd September 2010, Nalamdana conducted a refresher theatre training workshop for the 30 select UNICEF volunteers from Mathur, Bargur, Vepanampalli, Kelamangalam, Oothangarai, Thally and Krishnagiri blocks. New plays addressing the key issues: - safe water practices - importance of hand washing - construction and usage of toilet were developed and practiced during the workshop. These trained volunteers were split into three groups and each group was given specific dates to perform the role play in the 50 identified villages of the 50 panchayats in the Thally block. |
