Our New Team in Sarwar

We are very glad to welcome Ms. Shuchi Sharma as the new Project Director of our ongoing programme 'Education and Development of Adolescents in Arain Block.' Shuchi has an M.A. in Sociology and an L.L.B. from Ajmer University.

Our new Field Project Co-ordinator for the same project is Mrs. Archana Naruka. Archana has a B.A. from Kekri and is sitting for her B.ED. exam this year. We extend a hearty welcome to her.

Two women at the top jobs in a project of this magnitude are rare. Shuchi and Archana were head and shoulders above other applicants we interviewed and AAEA saw no reason to keep either out on grounds of gender.

We look forward to stellar performances from both. Their job responsibilities extend over 50 villages. They will organise residential camps for out of school adolescents; work with women groups and the youth forum; and liaise with government agencies. We echo their confidence in their capabilities. Shuchi is going to try her hand at driving the office motorcycle and Archana is already inducting her infant daughter into social work. Bravo girls!
