Is there a fee for the meeting, workshop and counseling for parents who attend them?
When we have meetings and workshops in the community we do not charge any fee from people who are attending. But when we have workshops on a large scale we do charge a small amount. This is basically aimed at recovering our costs. For instance we recently organized a workshop on social security and care-taking arrangements. For this workshop we did not have any funding. But we had to incur costs of booking the conference hall, lunch and tea, travel costs of the resource person, costs of handouts and printed material etc. For an organization like ours it is not possible to incur huge costs like this. So we charged nominal amount from the participants. However, wherever people who wanted to attend the workshop but were not able to pay the full amount we did not charge them anything. At ASTHA we believe in empowering people through information and reaching out to as many people as we can. We believe that inability to pay fees should not deprive them of the opportunity to access informatio
