The six day long camp saw a mixed bag of knowledge and fun based activities conducted by facilitators from YP Foundation and Enactus IIT Delhi Team.

They enjoyed the games a lot and we were delighted to see that they were already quite aware of the topic “menstruation”. It was a great experience to have a session with the joyful Shalinis”- Jasleen, Enactus IIT Delhi
