CherYsh COVID-19 Relief Project 2021-2022
Background :
Haliyal Taluka, CherYsh’s community in Uttara Karnataka, suffers significantly from the second wave of
COVID-19. Several parts of the taluk were in a state of being sealed for an extended period. The cases
are very high (the highest in Karnataka), resulting in strict measures that have badly impacted everyday
life and livelihood in Haliyal. Unemployment has drastically increased; reverse migration from
Maharashtra, Bangalore, Belgaum, Goa has added more burden.

Quest to Learn Workshop
by, Samantha Kennedy, Programme Intern with CherYsh
Quest2Learn 2019 Conference
On July 25th and 26th I had the pleasure of attending the Quest2Learn conference with
CherYsh Trust. This two day conference is held annually by Quest Alliance; an organization that
aims to revolutionize learning through innovative approaches and self-driven learning tactics. This
year’s conference consisted of several panels, keynote speakers and learning experiences that
highlighted and dissected the theme: ‘The Future of Work and Learning’.
My Time in Haliyal
by: Samantha Kennedy,Programme Intern – University of Ottawa
This past month I had the incredible opportunity to visit Haliyal to observe and assist with some of
the learning and livelihood projects CHerYsh Trust implement in the surrounding rural communities.
Through my involvement in the learning facilitator training, the Shiksha inspections and the
Shiksha evaluation pilot project, I was able to gain valuable insights on project management in
development.
Exploring Bangalore at the TCS World 10K “Majja Run”
If you asked me what I thought I’d be doing during my first week in India, I can assure you the answer would not have been participating in the 5K Majja run or ‘fun’ run of the TCS World 10K marathon. Throughout the years I have taken up running periodically, but am incredibly out of practice right now. Regardless of my physical capabilities, I was excited for the opportunity to help fundraise and run for a good cause!
