JCI Bangalore Horizon  conducted its very first Empowering  youth program at Sai Shankar Vidyashala.   We were not very sure how these topics will be  received from the students since such topics are not part of their  curriculum.   We  were  very surprised that the students were  very eager to participate in discussions and to learn  all these skills too.   We  will be glad to roll out many such  programs in the  future.
