However, these skills are crucial for success in life. Last year, we chose 32 girls aged between 12 to 18 for the lessons. This year, we have expanded the program to include 126 girls and 126 boys of the same age and CR\u2019s counselling team.<\/p>\n<p>Students are thoroughly enjoying the classes, and participating in stimulating discussions. Suhana who studies in class 6, said \u201cI absolutely love the sessions. My favourite part was learning about my rights and how to make decisions for myself. Before, I used to depend on my parents and siblings to make every single decision for me, regardless of how small it was. But now, I know how to think critically and make some decisions for myself. And I learnt all of this through Calcutta Rescue\u2019s life skill sessions.\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cf29eb3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"cf29eb3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"825\" height=\"619\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dmg.org.in\/calcuttarescue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/unnamed-6-1024x768-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-4649 lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dmg.org.in\/calcuttarescue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/unnamed-6-1024x768-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dmg.org.in\/calcuttarescue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/unnamed-6-1024x768-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dmg.org.in\/calcuttarescue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/unnamed-6-1024x768-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 825px) 100vw, 825px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 825px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 825\/619;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"825\" height=\"619\" src=\"https:\/\/dmg.org.in\/calcuttarescue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/unnamed-6-1024x768-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-4649\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dmg.org.in\/calcuttarescue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/unnamed-6-1024x768-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dmg.org.in\/calcuttarescue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/unnamed-6-1024x768-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dmg.org.in\/calcuttarescue\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/unnamed-6-1024x768-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 825px) 100vw, 825px\" \/><\/noscript>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cab9092 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cab9092\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Through these life skill lessons, Calcutta Rescue aims to provide its students with the tools they need to succeed in life and become self-sufficient individuals who can make a positive impact on their families and communities.<\/p>\n<p>Suchandra, CR\u2019s mental health counsellor and social worker, said \u201cLife skills are not just what one knows, but what one does with what one knows.\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Calcutta Rescue is Teaching Life Skills to the Students May 18, 2023 Skills such as time management and problem-solving are vital tools for young people in today\u2019s fast-paced and competitive world, but few schools in India teach them.
