WS Community Engagement @Kaplani

Mrs Sanjaya Mark works diligently and with a heart of gold on Woodstock’s Community Engagement programming. Earlier this month she led a group of students to Village Kaplani to present PINK: Breast Cancer Awareness to a group of Twelfth Graders and their teachers at M.G.V.S. Inter College Kaplani.

A prior needs assessment and memorandum of agreement precede Community Engagement projects such as this to ensure best responding to the needs of each community. The Woodstock students presented a very effective, interactive training on early detection of breast cancer and options and resources for maintaining good health. The Kaplani students were very appreciative of the training and welcomed the Woodstock contingent with open arms. “The warmth of the girls and women who attended was heartening,” affirms twelfth grader Prisha Agrawal who led the presentation. “It was a wondrous experience talking to them and seeing them grow more comfortable throughout the session while discussing a topic associated with so much stigma.”
