Due to the overwhelming response to the programme, President Ali said it can potentially be extended all across the country.
“It is not only self-defence training that we will be doing. We will spend brief time every day that they are on this programme to talk to them, to use leaders in our society to leave positive messages with them and every session we will have cabinet ministers, people like the [police] commissioners, Fire Chief, career diplomats, ambassadors to speak with them, to build their self-confidence, to let them know they are part of a world that cares,” President Ali said.
