    Solution

    Anita persuaded the women to start working in the food-for-work programme started by an NGO, and for the children she organised sports events. Pronoun should come after the Proper Noun. Usage of the proper noun (Anita) continuously in sentences is improper. She herself loved to play cricket, and so she organised cricket matches for children. Anita engaged, with other volunteers, in helping the widows and children to pick up the broken pieces of their lives. The initial government plan was to set up institutions for orphans and widows. However, this step was successfully resisted, as it was felt that in such institutions, children would grow up without love, and widows would suffer from stigma and loneliness. Anita’s group believed orphans should be resettled in their own community itself, possibly in new foster families made up of childless widows and children without adult care.
