"Homemade Lessons"

revive-girl

The Indian Express, a popular newspaper with outlets across the sub-continent, published a story on the Revive Mumbai summer program. “Homemade lessons” by Sukanya Shetty features some feedback from the Parivartan children, including this moving quote:

“Our parents don’t understand the impact violence has on the lives of children. I have seen my father harass my mother and cannot stop him. I live in the constant fear that he will beat us up. Through this play, I hope to help make my father realise where he is wrong,” says one of the kids, who the group thinks is an introvert and less participative.
