Child federation members got knowledge on journalism and it is a process to convey a topic, news, subject and information what a person or community experienced or got knowledge. This child journalism concept was developed because many people cannot get information due to non availability of proper communication and resources. As child journalism it can address the problems, issues the community facing, encourage children those have hidden talents, promoting children to write more and more and encouraging children to read more and more. So children’s federation members decided to develop a Wall magazine and they also named it “Aame Kahuchhu Aamari Katha”. They decided to publish this news in 15 days in a month in all operated 30 slums. The first issue will publish on 14th June 2015 (Sunday).
