Jennies Experience
my third visit.
We came to a greater understanding of what
protection means in India. We learnt about migra-
tion, trafficking, street children and the difficulties
faced without an education. CINIs interventions toensure children get into school and out of labour areimpressive.
There is much more to say. We are honoured to be a
small part of this wonderful team. At every program
the commitment, quality and dedication of the staff
and volunteers impressed us deeply.
We will return to Australia with an understanding of
the principles behind CINIs work and the effect in
the lives of many and spread this to other Australi-ans.

- [Jennie Connaughton is the director of CIN Australia
she visited CINI on the month of February 2012]
2 weeks ago I arrived in Kolkata
with my brother Peter and
friend, Jackie Dillon who are
both Board members of CINI Australia. Peter had
never been to India and Jackie had been once for her
daughters marriage to Sam who is from Pune. This is
The results of empowering women by giving them
information about their rights and the support
demand them was evident in their confidence and
the changes in the village life.
We have all learnt so much about the huge work
done by CINI and now have a much greater under-
standing of the depth and extent of the work CINI is
doing with the poor. As well as seeing Diamond Har-
bour and many of the CINI ASHA programs we werelucky enough to travel to Mushidabad, Raiganj and
Siliguri with Dr Chaudhuri and Lady Slynn. We at-
tended a village meeting where a woman explained
to her village the mapping survey which showed
which houses had pregnant mothers, which had chil-
dren missing from school and which had toilets.
Womens self help groups, panchyat members
and children parliament members discussed the
prob- lems of their village and how to solve them
together. We saw village after village where women
negotiate with their government for good services.
