During the summer of May 2026, we organized a set of 4 in-person reading sessions with adolescents at our partner, Hamari Pahchan's New Delhi branch, to take them through each of the storybooks we'd developed, and discuss the same, in detail with them. 

The sessions included guided reading, open-ended questions and reflection exercises. Each session also concluded with a sharing circle that allowed all of our young participants to build on their confidence in expressing their emotions and forming connections with their peers.
