A
new day, a new place. It was evening by the time we reached the
lovely ONCG grounds in Dehradun where the conference is being held.
That didn't keep us from playing blind-man's bluff on the front
drive and sitting around practicing our English and French! with
Kirsten, the volunteer from America who is helping with the conference.
Then it was dinner and bed.
 
Press Conference : At
a press conference earlier in the day for regional media, some
of the organizers of the conference met with regional journalists
to discuss the mission and purpose of the conference. Cyril R.
Raphael, executive director of RACHNA, asked journalists to move
beyond mere reportage of the event to thinking about and writing
about what the children are saying in order to bring about real
change.
