A skit-awareness on girls was prepared and presented under her initiative in order to educate people about the values of girls. Ruth is one of the most active leaders of the children’s club under Bal Suraksha Abhiyan Trust. If an issue related to children occurs in the village, she is the first person to contact the authorities and NGOs for further intervention.
