So far two children's clubs have put up a board in their village and in the following weeks more boards are to follow in other villages. The board is meant to show awareness about the children's club at village level. The children have successfully done all the fundraising. They have gained support from Panchayat leaders and local Arunthathiyar people who have covered the cost of the initiative.
On the board there is a pledge saying: We want to stop early marriages and child labour. We want to prevent school dropout and sexual abuse. We want to plant trees and reduce plastic waste.
The phone number for the child help line is also included, as well as the name of the village and children's club.
These pictures are from the village Balacombai where the name of children's club is Thamarai which means lotus.
