In light of this year’s Christmas season, the Goa State Commission for Protection of Child Rights organized a Christmas program for children from Kathkari tribe at Virnoda, Pernem.
During the event, the children were also encouraged to display their dancing, arts, and other talents, giving them a platform to be creative and come out of their fear and display their talents.
The activities were conducted by young people from Chotanagpur Youth Group, under the leadership of Fr Michael Periera, SVD.
Over the past few months, the Commission has been at the forefront and has engaged in addressing various issues of children in the area, i.e. malnutrition, delayed birth registration, access to food security, health and education in a sustained manner, besides promoting positive mental health among underprivileged children at Virnoda.
