Innovation Prevention and Response Program: Adressing the Link Between Teen P...WorldEd
DREAMS (Determined Resilient Empowered AIDS-free Mentored Safe) Innovation Challenge (IC) is a partnership of 56 organizations to implement innovative solutions that reduce HIV infections in adolescent girs and young women (AGYW) in 10 countries. DREAMS is responding because adolescent girls and young women are getting infected with HIV at alarming rates (~360,000 every year). WEI/Bantwana DREAMS IC focuses on the highly vulnerable under-served sub-population of AGYW who are pregnant/young mothers who have recently dropped out or are in school, but at the greatest risk of dropping out.
The holistic package of services to prevent AGYW school drop-outs includes: Prevention to create supportive environment for girls in schools and communities: training of teachers on GBV and sexual violence, Protect our Youth Clubs, early warning system for girls' retention, and parent/community sensitization on girls' education.
and Response to address educational needs of pregnant girls and teen mothers: part time continuing education for girls, mentorship for girls to support retention, wrap-around services (HTC, ASRH, financial literacy, and life skills), and early childhood stimulation classes.
Challenges include long standing cultural practices and beliefs which are barriers to these girls' access to education, in school and in the community, lack of male/partner support, and limited time frame, budget and small sample sizes.
Key strategies/Lessons learned: Government involvement at all levels, inclusive strategy for in-school POY clubs and PTCE sites, and involvement of male partners.
This was presented by Jessica Smolow at the CIES conference in March, 2018.

While more is being written about the plight of the low-income in
Singapore, there is little discussion about strategies that work to alleviate the predicament of the poor. The Family Excellence Circles (FEC) which was launched in 2005 by MENDAKI was a response to the challenges faced by low-income Malay/Muslim families. The conditions existing among such families entrenched in poverty and family problems, where there is low motivation for success led the Malay community to consider ways to transform their lives.
FEC, rather than merely focussing on the needs of the low-income have developed structures to allow participants to become part of the solution. The social networks developed and the motivation that the groups provide for its members to attend learning programmes have helped families enhance their
parenting skills, better navigate the education system and find ways for self-development.
This publication provides a glimpse of FEC through the eyes of those who benefitted from the programme. Hopefully this brief publication will provide inspiration to policy-makers and social service organisations to find ways to engage the strengths of low-income families through implementing new programmes.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Output/ Outcome
In Bastar main challenges that we faced
while generating volunteers was that
they wanted monetary aid but we don’t
believe in that. We focused on
generating volunteers from colleges and
community as well.
Question we faced was “ paisa to nehi mil raha hae” we
answered with
a smile that “ paisa kamaneka tarika mil raha hae”. For
generating volunteers we focused on explaining the
importance of skill development, capacity building
sessions and also career counselling. For generation
from community we took a personal approach and spent
time with them to build trust and then explained them
that how they can be benefited from the NGOs, from us
in their professional and personal time. Volunteers wait
for our next visit and eagerly wait for their next session.
We are slowly noticing changes in the overall
personality of the volunteers. Our relation with them
improved so much personally that they invite is in their
community wedding, local events etc.
