Hero-book:

Hero booking is a process of facilitating children to set life goals, identify barriers to reaching their goals and eliminate or minimise the barriers. This exercise helps children to see the world positively, to identify their strengths and weaknesses and to plan their life. It helps to identify helping hands and resources around them and assist them in making a plan of action. KN adopted this method from REPSSI, South Africa and modified and introduced it in the Nepalese context. This week long training is designed for teachers and service providers to children to facilitate them to develop their own hero-book.
