Graduating Both People and Villages
April 30, 2023
We are continuing Transformational Community Development (TCD) training in Paschim Midnapore and in Binodpur Village. In Binodpur Village, we installed a tube well, had a medical camp, gave a seminar on disease prevention and balancing one’s diet, and taught about having a kitchen garden.
Since last year, we have started a tutoring center to strengthen primary education. At present, we have 27 students in our Joshua Tutoring Center. This February, we received three computers from Jharkhand, and next March, we will start a computer center.
Two areas we are looking to improve are women’s education and our Income Generation, but we have almost completed our work in Binodpur village and look forward to graduating this village from the TCD program.
We are planning to start TCD in the cluster villages of Baikunthapur, Bhubaneswari, and Kisorimohanpur. We are excited about all the expansion that started and is spreading out from Binodpur!
Thank you,
