"Hulla ! This is Naughty Naveen. That is how I introduced myself at one of the sessions recently. But I guess that is the best thing about Thoughtshop Foundation. Identifying these aspects about my identity has been inevitable ever since I have been associated. And I continue to learn and enjoy myself as a peer/youth leader.

I first got trained as a peer telephone counsellor and worked on the Askline. Subsequently I also got trained as a facilitator for HIV/AIDS training with youth. I worked on the Youth Awards for Social Initiatives project and was part of the team conducting workshops in colleges and youth clubs.

I make it a point to attend the youth forum events and participate in the various training programmes."
