As part of the Gender Diversity Empowerment Project taken up by International Award for Young People, 20 awardees of Sri Sarada Math-Rasik Bhita along with the awardees from All Bengal Women’s Union Children’s Welfare Home went to Bishinda Hills in Bankura District on 27th December, 2014 to take part in their Adventurous Journey. Apart from the 20 students of Rasik Bhita, there were 44 more awardees from remote villages like Baladbandh (in Hooghly District), Kumrogori (Near Singur in Hooghly District), Howrah etc, who participated in the trekking under the banner of Rasik Bhita unit. There were altogether 43 Bronze awardees and 21 Gold awardees in the Rasik Bhita Unit, who were under the guidance of three award leaders. It was the first time away from home for the Bronze awardees, especially for those who belong to the remote villages, as they participated in the Adventurous Journey. It was a wonderful opportunity for the Gold awardees as they were exposed to various leadership-building activities. Besides, it was another golden opportunity for the Bronze awardees to take part in different activities like tent and tent life, Jumering, trekking, Burma bridge crossing, river crossing, rope obstacle practice, as well as cooking.

The journey ended on 31st December, 2014. While returning home all the young faces looked very confident and all the awardees were beaming with happiness. It was the last day of 2014, and the participants expressed their hopes of making a new beginning, a new journey for the girls who started to feel ‘Yes! We can!’ after the wonderful training of Bishinda Camp.
