Women Trained For Disaster Management

An organisation in Uttarakhand trains women in rescue and relief efforts. Luxmi has been associated with this organisation, the Bhuvaneshwari Ashram, for many years. In her video today, she shows us a new program they have developed to train young women in rescue and relief skills.
