A positive mind leads to positive change

I really enjoyed my training at Gender Links. My most memorable experience was when I met other women. I got the opportunity to meet women who are in the same situation. I shared my problems with those women. I felt they understood me. Everything was fruitful! It was a new world. I was out of my daily routine. I started my training in 2013. I was able to attend all the three phases in the course. I faced no difficulties to participate in this training. GL provided us with all the facilities! Before participating in this training, I was a housewife. I am still not working. I have not set up my business yet. This training provided me with a great knowledge. I, now understand how to set up a business. Unfortunately, I have not opened my business yet. It is very difficult for me! I live in a rented house. The proprietor of the house is very reluctant to give me the permission. He is not agreeing to let me start my business. I would like to start a business where I will sell vegetables. I was a victim of violence. My husband used to beat me a lot. He did not understand me. He died twelve years ago. Now my children are very happy. They see that I am now more relaxed. When my husband was still alive, I lived with fear. These changes have a positive effect on our lives. I am now freer. My children can now come at home without any fear. We have family reunions. There is more communication in the house. My life has changed completely. I am happier. I have more motivation in life. I met new friends. I can share my problems with them. This has really helped me. The lessons learnt are very helpful. I know how to do a business plan. I will apply it in the future. My dream is to open my vegetable stall and see my business flourishing.
