United States-based Hands to Hearts International (HHI) director Laura Peterson stressed the need for training and employing women to enhance care for orphans and children. Talking to mediapersons here, she said HHI, whose mission was to improve the health and well-being of women and children globally, would give training to women in Kerala. The training programme, first of its kind in the state, would start on August one at Sishu Kshema Bhavan (SKB) at Kanjirappally in the district. The programe, being organised with the cooperation of St. Jude’s Charitable Trust (SJCT), would train economically disadvantaged women to provide personalised and nurturing care to children in orphanages throughout Kerala. The pilot training programme of HHI in the country was launched in Tamil Nadu in February 2006. At the Madras Social Service Guild, training was given to 40 women, representing six different orphanages, she added. UNI VST ROY SK BST0436
