Saritsa Foundation has recognized that children need specific knowledge and skills to cope with emergency situations. To make children aware, alert by imparting education and training has been a priority for Saritsa Foundation since its birth about 12 years ago. It was a worry to note that in Fatehgarh cantonment Junior High School, Uttar Pradesh, there has been no opportunity to the students to learn to protect in emergencies of disasters who mostly belong to disadvantaged groups of families. The issue of safety of children was a neglect here. The team of Saritsa Foundation organized a workshop for these children on 9 February 2013. It was a good beginning for the children who took part with keen interest and enthusiasm. The teachers took part with an urge to learn.

Children and teachers were motivated and they confirmed that they shall pass on this education and knowledge to their family members and friends with practical demonstrations.

Some of the photographs are given in succeeding slides.
