The sessions teach students leadership and communication skills, as well as how to stop child marriage and what to do if they see it. Eka used these skills to stop her own marriage, as well as that of her 14-year-old cousin. These sessions are put on by Nobo Jatra, a development program implemented by World Vision Bangladesh and funded by U.S. foreign assistance. *** SEE D030-0871-STORY for full story. ***
